'Winnie Davis' rose Reviews & Comments
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.

This is a Tea by breeding. I looked up Winnie Davis to see why she had two roses named for her.
"Varina Anne Davis (June 27, 1864 – September 18, 1898) was an American author who is best known as the youngest daughter of President Jefferson Davis."
There are some lovely photos on-line of her.

The climber is a sport of this rose, not Nanz's HT, but it is pinker in descriptions than the bush form.

I was interested in it as a possibility for "Bishop's Lodge Ah Mow", given the similarities between that rose and "Kombacy Marianne", which is thought to be Mme de Watteville (pollen parent of Winnie Davis).

Thank you, Margaret. I just learned a little American history…courtesy of an Australian.

Margaret, I can’t help on “Bishop’s Lodge Ah Mow” as I no longer grow this rose, but I will respond further in the ‘Winnie Davis Climbing’ file on the colour of the climber
