 practices were considerably different from English heraldic practices. In England, the official heraldic establishment, the Royal College of Arms, has a monopoly on coats of arms, which were a privilege reserved for the gentry and nobility. In the Netherlands (and most of the rest of Europe), by contrast, merchants and artisans commonly used coats of arms, called "burgher arms

, arms which are a visual pun on the individual's name. The shield on Nicholas Roosevelt's arms is charged with three roses on a thorny bush growing from a grassy hill—a play on the literal Dutch meaning of Roosevelt, "rose-field." This design was adopted unchanged by Theodore Roosevelt. Franklin Delano Roosevelt modified the arms for his own use to be three thorny cut roses, rather than a bush, and eliminated the grassy hill. Both of the presidents used three ostrich plumes in the crest above the shield. Eleanor Roosevelt was also entitled to use a type of the Roosevelt coat of arms, even prior to her marriage to Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
