Button Eye
[From The Art of Gardening with Roses, by Graham Stuart Thomas, p. 43:] The "button eye" is a character peculiar to the very full-petalled old roses; the centres, composed of stamens turned into petals are packed so tightly into the empty receptacle in the heart of the flower that they cannot unfold and remain in an incurved cluster, shaped like button.
