I love them, too!

Thanks, Jeri, gorgeous blooms! I especially like De La Vina Mystery, spectacular color and petal formation.

Thank you, Vesfl. I'm glad that your Mme Hardy survived, very beautiful!

I grow Blush Noisette, and Mme Alfred Carriere, they do well here.

Evelyn is a peach/pink blend. When the blooms first open, more apricot color, then fading to pink.

Each and every one of these is exquisite. I need look at my pictures and see if I can find any. I know I have a couple that do express that charming feature.

..quite a button on this one..

'Imogen' [Austin]...

Thank you, Marlorena. it's a beautiful Austin. I think Mr. Austin is brilliant, his creations are so extraordinary... it's a perfect button eye!

There is something so charming about a bloom with a button eye! Wow, I love all that have been shared! Here are a couple I can share:

Sister Elizabeth

St. Swithun

Winchester Cathedral sometimes has a button eye

I finally found one! It's my NOID/ Anne Boleyn. It's often exhibits this perfect button eye.

These are all SO beautiful! If I had to pick favorites I would have to say Evelyn and Sister Elizabeth, but each one has its own charm. Thank you all for brightening my day.

This morning my Blumenschmidt, which is still potted, surprised me with its bloom and reminded me of this thread. I've never seen such a large green button-eye on a rose. I have to find a special place for it.

That isn't actually a button eye.

It's VEGETATIVE GROWTH. First cousin to PROLIFERATION, where a whole new bud forms in the center of a bloom.

JBP, it looks so cool. I never saw something like it and it's neat that it's actually a new bud. Always something new to learn here. I see in the linked article they advise to deadhead it if someone doesn't like it, but for me it's a thrilling rarity. Hope you'll post the photo of this cute bloom in its next stage.
