The flag of Närke is a banner of arms, just like all other Swedish
provincial flags. The arrows are of a type called "skäkta", with
triangular points (a difference to note when comparing these to the arrows in
the arms and flag of Dalecarlia). The roses are probably just added to fill out
the field.
