A 1:2 bicolour of a light yellow over a dark green with a
right angled hoist triangle of a dark red. The website is
roughly translated as: "It's two equal horizontal stripes
and a triangle based at the pole and ending on the dividing line
of the horizontals, 'púrpura' [purple ?]; the stripes yellow on
top and green at the bottom".

The canton of Santa Rosa was formed on 15 October 1859. The
placed was named after St. Rose of Lima (1586-1817), the first
saint from the Americas, canonized on 2 April 1671 by Pope
Clement X
Translated from <www.mipasaje.com>:
"The flag is made of three equal horizontal stripes and of a
purple triangle placed along the hoist and pointing to the limit
of the two horizontal fields. The horizontal stripes are yellow
on top and green on bottom.
Yellow represents the canton's resources symbolized on the
municipal shield by a cornucopia. green symbolizes the greenness
of the fields and the hope of the inhabitants for a better
future."
