One of my roses used to do this, during the summer of 2012. i posted a photo and Noseypotter posted a comment saying that it was the rootstock coming through...

this is another flower bud so not a root stock.

Yes that was what my rose was doing, sending up a new bud through middle of the flower, i didn't quite understand his comment either but have just tried to google this phenomenon and came across another reference about a rose reverting back to it's rootstock , strange.
