Button-eyed rose, with a button eye, is what I've seen them called but there may be a more 'correct' name. But I think of it as when the central petals stay curled over in the centre like this on my Eglantyne. These petals hang on for ages after all the others fall and stay on the bit that I deadhead
Weeding has no season here Rojas, always needs doing and always being done
This is Trevor White's picture of Proper Job as it shows the quartering better than my recent PJ pics. Literally a petal-packed bloom that arranges itself in quarters
@Eustace thank you. How big the blooms are compared to other DA? Do they have tightly packed petals too? Sorry for asking many questions. If you have any pictures please share.
Perdita blooms are similar in size to the Summer Song in your photograph. About fragrance, I would say 'mild'. Currently, there are no more blooms/buds on that plant, so have the following links.
@Fire ‘button eye’ is different to quartered but sometimes roses can exhibit a combination of different types, nature is not so easily classified. A classic (green) button eye is Madam Hardy. This illustration from DA catalogue is pretty useful. The only one it doesn’t illustrate well is quilled, which is sort of like their ‘incurved’ but tighter, with each individual petal more pleated:
ETA This is probably my nearest example to a quilled rose (Mme. de Sévigné) with deep creases in inward curving petals, but Paul Noél, which Edhelka has, is probably a better example..
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
"Rose blossoms that are described as having a “rosette” bloom form have packed petals in a more random size and arrangement. For me, a way to remember this form is to think of it as “ruffled.” An example of a rosette or ruffled bloom form is ‘Crocus Rose’"
I think I like most roses I've seen, but have a quite visceral aversion to photos of a few- Mill on the Floss, Earth Angel, Ascot, Royal Jubilee.... they look sort of deformed somehow. I bet they're nicer in real life though.

I might weed sometime in winter, yes weeding is the most common all season task for me.

Is one of your roses there the Pilgrim? That's listed as a rosette bloom form.
