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.

Bunny Guinness, David Austin's niece and garden designer talks about this rose as an Alba relative. This is the one David was most proud of. In her UK climate, it flowers well and has a light apple cinnamon scent. For her it is vigorous and forms a nice bushy shape with great disease resistance. Her zone would be 8-9 in the US more like the wet PNW.

I saw this rose in the new David Austin book and the photos on HelpMeFind look just like the one in the book -- beautiful!  I'm very interested in the shape of the bush.  If anybody could describe how it grows, I would be grateful.

Hi if you go to his web page and search for windflower it gives a description that might help you. By the way this is one of his personal favorites. I just read it in an interview from 1999 with him. www.davidaustinroses.com  Jody

I have the same question (about the plant shape).  The David Austin descriptions are very spare.  It would be great if someone could post photographs of the bush itself.
