    This is our Damask rose, sometimes it makes flowers within the flower.

    Yes, I know this. This condition has occurred in plants in my garden.
    It's called "rose flower proliferation". It is commonly seen in roses but can occur in other plants such a Monarda, poppies and daisy's for instance.
    You are showing a good example.

    The cause is not known to my knowledge; however, it frequently occurs in spring and can follow late frosts or some other physical damage to the bud. In my garden it appears now and then, but if it occurs on a regular basis year after year, then it is more than likely due to a virus.

    Good foto.
