Semi-double
/seh-mee-DUH-bul/🌸 Flower Parts●● Intermediate
A flower form intermediate between single and double. Semi-double flowers typically have two to three times the normal petal count, with some stamens still visible at the centre. They offer a fuller appearance than singles while still providing pollen and nectar access to pollinators — a useful compromise between ornamental impact and ecological value.
Etymology
Latin semi- (half) + double, from Latin duplus (twofold)
Example
“Rosa 'Ballerina' produces clusters of semi-double pink flowers with a white eye throughout summer.”
