While traveling abroad this summer I ran across a magazine article that pictured a rose with multi centers - I think I remember the rose as having four or five "eyes." I saved the article because I wanted to find this rose in the US, but, of course, I can't find the article now.
Does anyone know a rose with this habit?

This characteristic is called "proliferation". Check the "Glossary" link on the navigation bar to the left for a definition. Smiles, Lyn, helpmefind.com |

Thank you for your help.
I looked at the pictures in the glossary and they don't look exactly like the magazine article, but I think I can search the internet with my "new term" and perhaps, find it that way.
The article made it look like the rose had four or five rose buds inside of the one bloom.

It sounds like Rosa persica and its hybrids. I have recently discussed this on http://forums.mooseyscountrygarden.com/garden985.html Go take a look - it might give you links and answers!

Thank you for taking the time for me.
I still haven't seen exactly what I was looking for, but perhaps the rose that I saw in print will filter over to the US sometime soon.

Just about any rose can proliferate. There is one OGR which is known for it, Prolifera de Redoute, http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/pl.php?n=4999&tab=7 Mlle. Cecile Brunner has been known to do it with probably more frequency than many. It's considered a fault in most circles, unless you wish to attempt to propagate it as a novelty. Studying Ralph Moore's Hulthemia hybrids and having grown three of Harkness' Hulthemias, I've not noticed any of them proliferating, so I doubt they'd be "known" for it. Though, it could happen, it just hasn't been a regular occurance with them. Kim |
