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.

Hi HMF community - can someone comment whether this rose (tan081040/20th Anniversary rose) sold by Fryers in the UK is the same as Tantau’s Eisvogel/Kingfisher? Photographs of this rose when compared on both the Tantau and Fryers website are identical but there is no confirmation on either website. Cheers!

I have grown 'Eisvogel' and it looks like the Fryer rose.. 'Eisvogel' also has the code TAN081040, even though the dates shown are different which is confusing.

'Eisvogel' has the varietal code Tan08104, which is most probably Fryer's Tan081040. We will merge the two listings.
