Please provide any other information that you can
As of rose en soleil: it is a rose surrounded by rays. It can be found on the 
devices of York and Lancaster. 
Pelican: this bird is usually drawn with her wings endorsed, and wounding her 
breast with her break, i.e. "vulning herself." When in her nest feeding her 
young with her blood, she is said to be "in her piety."
  A pelican's head erased or otherwise detached from the body must always be drawn in the same position. It must therefore be separated as low as the upper part of the breast.
