Flag Description: A white flag with an aspect ratio of 2:3 featuring a central red five-petaled rose with a yellow seed and green sepals, accompanied by two red right-angled triangles. The hoist triangle has vertices at the upper hoist corner and at the midpoints of the top and hoist edges; the fly triangle has vertices at the lower fly corner and at the midpoints of the bottom and fly edges.
Symbolism: The central charge is a red five-petaled rose derived from the municipality's historical coat of arms, signifying the centuries-long rule of the noble House of Rosenberg (Rožmberk). The white field reflects the silver shield of the arms, while the two red corner triangles complete the traditional Rosenberg color scheme (red and white/silver) in a balanced vexillological composition.
