I, too, use the PawPaw rose labels, with stick ons....I first used labels made on a DYMO label maker, and clear coated them with lacquer. Those showed "fading" of the printing after 3-4 years, so this year I have switched to "Brother" brand labels and machine. My iris are all marked for ID with an engraved metal tag, wired to a long nail...pushed into the ground at the base of the plant, so the "rose labels" are only to make things easier for garden visitors.
Mine are "put out" in the spring (quite a job, too, with this many cultivars
), and taken in after bloom is done( the Re's remain marked until fall, and then get 'pulled" ), as leaving them in place...year around...makes weeding, cutting fans, etc., very difficult, and, if left in place over the winter, makes the beds look too much like "cemeteries" !
