'Fluttering Wings' 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.

Breeder's notes:

Viru had christened this lovely small climber, a cross between Faith Whittlesey and Duchesse de Brabant, some years back. This is a seedling from 2011/12 and he was observing its performance. We had planted it down in our Ace of Spades garden, so called because of its shape, like the spade card in playing cards. The garden is surrounded by a ring of ombu trees- Phytolacca dioica . We had visited an ombu forest in Uruguay in 2000 and calm serenity and peace we experienced whilst there left a lasting impression on our minds. We had been looking for seeds of this tree and finally about 10 years back we were able to get some. Viru wanted to create the tranquil atmosphere in a part of our garden so we planted a circle of these trees, but naturally we could’nt be without planting roses too, and this rose Fluttering Wings is happy to cohabit under the shade of the ombus.
