From Fredonia's officila web site:
"Fredonia is the gateway to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and has been termed Arizona’s desert rose. Our town is centrally located with access to National Parks, National Monuments, State Parks, and other scenic wonders. We think you will enjoy visiting Fredonia and enjoying the views, relaxed atmosphere, and friendly hospitality."
The term "Desert Rose" is used throughout Arizona by many businesses and is the term applied to a specific geological crystal formation that strongly resembles a fully opened rose blossom.
