I just had a hybrid tea produce a "twin" - two separate and perfrectly formed buds/flowers on one stem. Is this unusual????? Both developed normally. |

It is not unusual. :-) Sometimes, nature is generous.

My Garden Party did too. The bud did not open up. Here is a picture. I also have had a rose that developed a smaller flower inside/the center of the rose. Look at both pictures. J |

It is a form of proliferation. Some roses are more subject to it than others, but it's not abnormal. It is particularly common where the roses have received high nitrogen feeding.

I have this happen occasionally too. It's nothing to be concerned with. More often I get a conjoined twin bud. One bud with two centers and a seam on the outside.
