First off, I have seen several fleuri-counterfleuri (spelling 
suspect) lines of division returned as post-period for the society. 
If by this you mean a line of division which is shaped like 
fleur-de-lys.  If you mean something else, please specify for me 
although others on the list may catch what you mean right off.

[Further commentary below is to be taken as though I am discussing a 
device with a plain chevron line of division.]

I am assuming that the torc and the rose are of equal visual weight 
(roughly the same size, etc.).  I like it.  The Pic-Dic specifies 
that the "torque" is opening to base by SCA default.  If you want it 
opening upwards, then you will have to specify inverted.

The torque and the rose are the primary charges.  I would see this 
blazoned as:  Per chevron vert and argent in pale a torque and a rose 
within a bordure counterchanged.  However, I seem to remember a 
kingdom meeting where I thought the blazon would be as I described 
and I was told that the following style blazon was actually more 
correct:  Per chevron vert and argent, a torque argent and a rose 
vert within a bordure counterchanged.  Would someone else on the list 
lend their opinion as to which is more correct?

Unfortunately, I am going to bed right now so I cannot conflict check 
yet.  If I come home tomorrow instead of staying up all night at 
work, and no one else has conflict checked, then I'll make a try for 
you.
