    This is a miniature rose I have in a pot and it has 3 different centers!!! The bud itself is normal not several fused together. Anyone see this before??

    Thanks for that Woo! Am not very knowledgable when it comes to roses. Have never really had any luck with them in the past but Asda had these minature ones 2 plants for £5 so I thought I would have another go and ended up with 5 plants. I have them all outside on the patio in pots and they all are super healthy looking. Previously when I have tried to grow them they died off because of powdery mildew, which I knew nothing about at the time. I have been keeping a close eye on these and spraying them when I notice any and so far so good. I have 2 deep red ones a yellow, pink and a sort of peach colored one. If the weather decides to cooperate sometime I will try and get some decent pics of them up.

    The weather at the moment looks like it is likely to destroy this years Geoff Hamilton rose blooms-which is new to my garden, it is about to open and if this constant drizzle doesn't lay off I will be most upset, I have been looking forward to them all this time.

    Woo-what is it about the weather that would cause the OP rose to flower like way?

    Hi Lollipop . I do hope that your Geoff Hamilton Is OK.:) Is it possible just to place some Bags over the Blooms to keep them dry :)
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    To be totally honest,all the powers to be in the Rose world,
    Say "Its the weather"and they say its a common occurrence with some roses.Personally I have never seen it before,my friend at Beales says it could have been frost that caused this Bloom Mutation,:)
    IMHO I think It it the warm and wet weather that forces the bloom into unusual rapid growth but these are only Oppinions,:dh:In the old days:old:whenever I asked a Rose question and the Head Gardener did,nt know the answer He was Famous at saying "Its the weather!
    and that was that:hehe: But you know me I will find out why this happens and seek a satisfactory explanation :)
