Roose or
Roosecote is a suburb and
ward of
Barrow-in-Furness,
Cumbria,
England. The word 'roose' is Celtic for "moor" or "heath" and the suffix 'cote' of Roosecote means "hut" or "huts" (the word 'cottage' is derived from 'cote'). Before the building of Roose Cottages and the arrival of the Cornish miners Roose was pronounced with a hard S, as in goose; now it is locally pronounced 'Rooze', due to the Cornish accent. Roose is served by
Roose railway station, one of the few remaining stations on the
Furness Line in the Barrow area.
