Is it ever mentioned anywhere of how many children Sam and Rose had together?

I know about Elanor of course but I am curious about whether or not they had anymore children together...

If they did how many more did they have and what were their names?

Thanks!

Elanor (1421)
Frodo (1423)
Rose (1425)
Merry (1427)
Pippin (1429)
Goldilocks (1431)
Hamfast (1432)
Daisy (1433)
Primrose (1435)
Bilbo (1436)
Ruby (1438)
Robin (1440)
Tolman (Tom) (1442)

Sam must have been a heck of husband. I mean, he'd treat you like a princess! And I mean no other implications. Just, wow, thirteen! Whew.

Yeah, I don't doubt that he was one heck of a husband to Rose...

And you know what else?

I bet he was a wonderful father to his children too!
