Looks like proliferation, ie another bud forming in the middle. Some roses are especially prone to this, eg the Cecile Brunner family. Other types of flower can do it too - I've seen a photo of lots of buds forming around the edge of something (can't remember what) rather than in the middle.
It's ugly but not a disease, and you just cut off the flower if you don't like it.

Have a look at a photo of "David's Dilemma", Photo Id: 245456, where the adjacent petals are a different colour.

This is the first year of growing this rose and it's been a delight! The leaves are a bluey-green colour. The flowers are dazzling when they emerge. The shape of the bush is a full round shape. It wasn't attacked by bugs this summer, not even the Japanese Beetles, and it's had absolutely no fungus or blackspot.
What a delightful shrub rose!

My reading of the first two references (1919 and 1920) tell me that 'Seafoam's parentage should be the same as 'Mermaid' and that it should be changed from
The Mermaid x Unnamed Seedling
to
Rosa bracteata J.C.Wendl. X Tea
However I am just not sure of how to accommodate that last miscellaneous "Tea".
Ideally it should read "a double yellow tea rose", as per the 1920 reference.
