What happens to task board stickers when a sprint finishes

What do you do with completed story stickers when a sprint finishes? I believe that most people just throw they away.

Some time ago when I was visiting one of our scrum teams, I noticed the following scrum rose, which illustrated amount of user stories completed during the sprint:
Agile Iteration Rose (Scrum Rose) by Serge StepantsovMore petals this flower has means more stories completed during the sprint. When there are several scrum teams working on the same project, they can even use such roses to illustrate overall project progress and dynamic during recent sprints.
