Yes, they are also called proliferations. For me, Aloha and PJPII get them often, I wonder if it has to do with over fertilization. I like the tiny button eye on Mme Hardy, but not the big bug-like ones that my roses get.

I saw a bunch of proliferations on one of my moss roses last year. The craziest one actually had a flower growing out of another one! Some genetic processing really went berserk with this one!

I've had both those things also. On aloha and I think maybe Zaid. I can't remember which one had the flower in a flower. I think they're kind of cool. There's actually roses where that is bread in them. I can't remember the name of them but I've seen them online before.

Lin, now that is a truly major proliferation. I like proliferations as long as they aren't too over the top and only occur occasionally.

Sara Ann, this an old photo of Evelyn with a modest proliferation which I actually like. The Prince gets "buttons" which could be small proliferations, I guess. Diane

Abe had what looked like a proliferated bud today. I snipped the bud off & am going to see if it opens in the house (for the sake of curiosity). All of the other new growth looks normal. I am going to assume this is harmless mutation, and that isn't RDD for now. If I'm off-base here, please let me know. Thanks.
