Azure a rose between three griffins' heads erased Or. Canadian Heraldic Authority

The Arms of the eldest son, Francis Maurice Pope, are differenced with a label of three points during the lifetime of his father.

The design is a modification of the arms of Pope of Cornwall, used by several generations of Mr. Pope’s family. To these arms have been added a single rose, as roses appear in the arms of Mr. Pope’s great-grandfather, Sir Henri-Thomas Taschereau, and in the arms of his maternal grandfather, Count Jules du Monceau de Bergendal.
