'Annie Laurie McDowell' rose Description
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:
Annie Laurie McDowell takes a while to build the plant. It will bloom at the expense of growing, providing fragrant color all summer long in most climates. To encourage it to climb, it may be necessary to prevent it from blooming until the plant approaches the size you desire. One of its delightful characteristics is the plant is nearly prickle free! It can be planted along walks, bannisters, railings, arches, all without fear of it 'biting' passers by. It's also tolerant of open shade and strong, reflected light. Ashdown Roses says Annie Laurie is named for Candy Craig.
Kim Rupert writes that the name has been changed to Annie Laurie McDowell. Candy and Dean restored The Homestead Acre, the last remaining original homestead in the San Fernando Valley, California. This rose is a seedling of 'Renae'.
