I am having a terrible time keeping some name tags on the roses or in the
ground by the roses..
seems the marking either fades or washes away.. any suggestions ??
I would love to be able to just look at the ground and see what rose it
is..
thank you..

I buy metal tags and write the names of roses on
with Marvy Deco Color opaque paint markers
that I found at a hobby store (Hobby Lobby - but
I'm not sure how "local" that is). The darker colors
hold up well to TX heat, sun, floods for several
years before showing any fading. I write over the
ones that have faded too much.
