The word Mont, via Latin and then Old French, describe mountains. According to the college’s website, the use of the word mont in the college’s title gives the impression of height and might. The use of the word rose represents beautiful, delicate and higher ideals.[4]
The college motto is "Self-actualization through striving for higher ideals".
Mont Rose’s coat of arms was designed to demonstrate the meaning of the college’s name, while also including parts of the college motto. The use of colors was selected by the college to show a number of different things about the college. The use of blue is to demonstrate Truth and Loyalty. It is said that many in Bible passages, that blue was the color for truth.[5] Loyalty and trust are also commonly associated with the color blue. The use of silver within the coat of arms, is supposed to symbolize peace and sincerity.[6]
The design of the coat of arms includes roses, which is a mark of the seventh son, as well as hope and joy.[7] The motif represents knowledge and British heritage, which is presented through the use of a crown and a book. The MRC is a representation of the college’s name.[8]
