Pluckrose Family History

Pluckrose Surname Meaning

From Middle English plukken ‘to pull’ + rose ‘rose’. Compare John Pullerose 1296 in Subsidy Rolls (Sussex) and William Pullerose 1301 in Subsidy Rolls (Yorks).

According to Patronymica Britannica the medieval practice of holding lands by the annual rent of a rose survived into the 19th century: ‘A friend of mine holds a landed property on the borders of Ashdown Forest Sussex part of the Duchy of Lancaster by one red rose.

On the front of a farm-house belonging to him is a large rose tree, to which the reeve of the manor periodically comes and either plucking or pulling a flower sticks it into his button-hole and walks off.’
