'Sweet Surrender' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:

James Pius writes: 'Sweet Surrender' was certainly a sweet surprise when she flowered! Each bloom is between 4-6". I find the fragrance of 'Sweet Surrender' is more intense and sweeter than of it's parent, 'Tiffany'. Considering 'Tiffany' is noted for its fragrance, it's not easily outdone, but I'm not complaining! I especially love the silvery pink blooms as they seem to shimmer in the sunlight. The open flower is more ruffled and relaxed than 'Tiffany' but truly a sublime specimen for any garden. 'Sweet Surrender' is just as healthy as 'Tiffany' and just as tall. They make great companions in the garden. 'Sweet Surrender' makes for a great cut flower, too. It's quite the fantastic rose as it seems to have everything going for it!!
