Negative response about flowers in strong winds (10)

I believe the answer is:

noreasters

'strong winds' is the definition.
(winds from the northeast)

'negative response about flowers in' is the wordplay.
'negative response' becomes 'no' (negative answer).
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'flowers in' becomes 'asters' (aster is a type of flower. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'no'+'re'+'asters'='NOREASTERS'

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
