Single Semi-Double Anemone Peony Form Rose Form Double Formal Double CAMELLIAS Definition of Classification Types Single A flower having one row of not more than eight petals, which can be regular, irregular or loosely arranged about a central, conspicuous stamen cluster, with or without petaloids. Note: NOT more than eight petals but petaloids allowed. E.g. Spencer s Pink. Semi-Double A flower having in excess of eight petals in two or more rows, with a conspicuous stamen cluster, with or without petaloids. Note: Petaloids allowed but must have a conspicuous stamen cluster. E.g. The Czar. Anemone Form (previously called Elegans Form) A flower having one or more outer rows of large petals, while the stamens have become almost totally petaloid and form a convex mass in the centre. E.g. Elegans, Brushfield s Yellow. Peony Form (also known as Informal Double) A flower having either of two forms as follows: (a) Loose or Incomplete Informal Double, with loosely arranged petals, usually irregular or wavy, becoming smaller to the centre where they are divided by stamens. Sometimes the centre is a mixture of small petals, petaloids and stamens. E.g. Easter Morn (b) Full or Complete Informal Double, usually a convex mass of a mixture of irregular, twisted petals and petaloids, with stamens, if any, obscured. E.g. Debutante. Rose Form Double A flower having multiple rows of imbricated petals, opening through a bud-shaped centre to show some stamens in a concave centre when fully open. E.g. Helenor. (Perhaps best described as a Formal Double showing stamens.) Formal Double A flower having many rows of regular, overlapping petals and no visible stamens, the petals being arranged in one of four different ways, viz. fully imbricated, tiered, spiral or bud centred.
