Name


The name does not refer to flowers but to the hundred of Roose, the former Welsh cantref of Rhos.[2]


History


The village was a marcher borough founded by the Knights Hospitallers in the 12th century. It appears on a 1578 parish map of Pembrokeshire.[3] Owen, in 1603, described it as one of nine Pembrokeshire "boroughs in decay".[4]

The parish church, like many in the former lands of Rhos, is dedicated to the 6th-century Breton prince and Welsh saint Ismael. The village has a medieval dovecote[5] and a large hillfort.


Local government


The village has its own elected community council and is part of the electoral ward of Burton for the purposes of elections to Pembrokeshire County Council.
