The large, ruffled flowers, resembling silver-pink seashells, bloom at the ends of long stems adorned with dark green foliage. Sweet Surrender is an excellent cut flower and produces eye-catching red rose hips from early to late autumn.

Under ideal conditions, it can live for around 20 years. This rose thrives in full sunlight and prefers moderate and consistent moisture, avoiding waterlogged soil.
With its tall, healthy growth, Sweet Surrender tolerates heat well, but its fragrance is most enchanting during cooler seasons. In those times, its scent becomes breathtaking, adding a touch of aromatic allure to any garden.
