Just got my first flower and just put a picture . Really nice flower But can somebody tell what is the little green stoff in the middle of the flower ? Please look at the pic I just post
Looks like proliferation, ie another bud forming in the middle. Some roses are especially prone to this, eg the Cecile Brunner family. Other types of flower can do it too - I've seen a photo of lots of buds forming around the edge of something (can't remember what) rather than in the middle. It's ugly but not a disease, and you just cut off the flower if you don't like it.
Thanks , good to know that it is not a disease . I still like the flower , but not its proliferation ... Let's hope my next flower will be without it . Thanks again. Louis
