Slightly different wind rose in Matlab

I would like to build a wind rose in Matlab similar to the following: http://www.windographer.com/media/medialibrary/2010/04/windshear.png

The input data is a wind frequency distribution binned by direction and month. It has the circular shape of a wind rose but the lines of a radar plot. Any tips would be much appreciated!

Isn't this just what you'd get with polar? (or any of its siblings on the file exchange)

Thanks for the answer Bjorn. I think with a little bit of playing the polar might work. The polar plot uses normal quadrant rules and has 0 on the positive X axis, with 90, 180, and 270 on the axes going CCW. On wind roses 0/359 is the positive Y axis, with 90, 180, and 270 on the axes going CW. http://www.mathworks.com/help/techdoc/ref/polar_1.png

Apparently this command: set(gca,'view',[-90 90]) will rotate so 0 is at the top, but how to I flip 180 and 270?

Never mind, I used: set(gca,'view',[90 -90]) and it now will work for me.
