I think Rosie was one of the greatest supporting characters in the entire series. It takes a lot of trust and faith to wait for someone for that long, knowing that they are likely never to come back. Rosie understood that a part of Sam would always belong to Frodo, and that makes her all the more noble. Just as Frodo was consumed by the quest, Sam was too. Rosie would never have all of his heart, and she accepted that. She never once resented Frodo for it.
