Roses live a long time, and rose gardens get visitors. A clear, engraved label tells everyone what they’re looking at, from the variety to the year it was introduced.
We engrave UV-stable acrylic labels in Savannah, Missouri, and mount them on stainless steel markers that won’t rust or bend. Every order gets an emailed proof first.
How to write rose names
Most rosarians use the variety name, then the class, hybridizer and year. Send your list in any format and we’ll engrave it the way you write it.
| Format | Line 1 | Line 2 | Line 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | PEACE | Hybrid Tea | Meilland 1945 |
| Two lines | DOUBLE DELIGHT | HT · Swim & Ellis 1977 | |
| Public garden | [Variety] | [Class] · [Hybridizer] [Year] | Donated by [Name] |
| Memorial rose | [Variety] | In memory of [Name] |
Tip: check names against Modern Roses (American Rose Society) before you send your list.
