The blue marker indicates that Queen Nefertiti was one of our roses that won a blue ribbon at the May, 2001, New Bern Rose Show.

At the base of the rose is a brick that is painted with the name of the rose.  After experimenting with several methods for displaying the names of our plants or roses, we have found that a brick, painted using shiny exterior-grade paint, lasts the longest.
