The Yellow Rose
The yellow rose was adopted as the Zonta Rose in 1999 to serve as the symbol of Zonta Rose Day – March 8th.
Each feature of the Zonta Rose has a special significance:
The ROOTS signify the foundation of Zonta, our objectives, mission and our history.
The TRUNK stands for our strength and ability to unite to advance the status of women.
The BRANCHES symbolize the network and direction of many clubs in many countries, improving the lives of many women.
The LEAVES represent growth of our personal lives and the Zonta organization.
The STEMS signify the links between clubs and members.
The multiple BLOOMS represent Zonta’s diversity in membership, while the BUDS characterize new members to be nurtured and treasured.
The ROSE epitomizes Zonta friendship and mutual support, with the intertwined golden yellow PETALS embodying the principles of Zonta - honesty and trustworthiness.
Finally, the PERFUME is the gift to our fellow man, representing Zonta service to the local and global community
