I need help translating a reference, please. (Guess what: google translate didn't help, and babelfish crashed).
Does fleur corronnee au centre mean button-eyed, or something different?
Does ovaire mean receptacle or hip? (I won't ask why it's a masculine noun.)
Thanks.

Couronnée (crowned) means that there is a set of dense petals at the centre of the bloom (as in many OGRs). There may be a button eye, but it could be invisible.
Ovaire is the receptacle (in old references). Hips are usually mentioned as "fruit".

Thank you. So a rose which has the stamens clearly visible isn't likely to be this Narcisse.

No, this seems to have been very full with an additional crown in the centre.
