-
Single Blossom - has 5 to 12
petals arranged on the same plane and not
enclosing one another. All wild roses have
single flowers with five petals and yellow
stamens.
-
Double Blossom - has two
complete and concentric rings of outer
petals and often a prominent center of
petals that enclose the pistils and stamens.
The number of petals vary from 25 to 50 or
more.
-
Semi-double Blossom - this is
half way between single and double. There
are two strata of 13 to 24 petals each. The
petals are not as numerous or closely furled
as the double blossom.
-
Very Double Blossom - has
between 50 and 200 small petals that cluster
in several tight rings or layers. They may
be either "button eyed" with a single center
formed by very tiny, unopened petals or
"quartered" with petals arranged like a
pinwheel in 3,4 or 5 separate clusters.
