does this have any significance or just a fetish? lol.
I am just curious. I don't think i've ever encountered a discussion or read an article that focused on stamen color.

Ophelia, Mme Butterfly, and probably some other Ophelia sports have reddish (coral?) stamens that are quite striking on those flowers that develop with fewer petals. My Mme Butterfly was often semi-double.

that I must possess is a good one . . . and there are only so many of these dark stamened ones. Makes my plantlust easier.

I actually do remember you posting about this before. Off the top of my head...

Everest Double Fragrance (semi-double, red)
Mrs Oakley Fisher (single, orange)

As a bonus, both of these roses smell yummy, too.

I think Sheer Bliss has purple stamens, it has a lovely fragrance to it.

drasaid, thank you, for your list.
To me, stamens are one of the prettiest part of a rose blossom, and I was surprised to see a rose book published this year that showed photographs of rose blossoms, where the petals were open, but showed withered stamens,that were old greyed and blackened, that were well past their prime.
Along with dark stamens, I also love roses that show a boss of stamens, such as white 'Rose of York' which I grew primarily for its stamens, fragrance and foliage, and 'Mermaid'
Thanks again drasaid.

Ivory Fashion has a classic, high-centered scrolled bud and beautiful reddish stamens when fully opened that (unlike many white roses) don't look bad after pollination . It is redolent of cloves and very long lasting in a vase. It is a floribunda.

Two other beauties with red stamens are White Wings (an HT) and Jacqueline du Pre (mentioned above), a shrub rose.

Sarah, you beat me to it! But thanks for posting it because I've been so busy.

I must say I prefer the title you originally posted under: " I want pink thingies in the middle of the bloom! WAAAAH!" You must of matured since then, which may be good for you but not as entertaining for us!

Stamens are composed of two parts: filaments (the stem-like parts that holds up the anthers ) and anthers (the balls containing pollen).

Red anthers is what I want...WAAAAH!

Here's a rose that puts most of its energy into the red stamens filaments and anthers, and not much into petals:

Ahhh. it's a mini.

My preference is for fragrant roses that have more petals. I wonder which of these wonderful suggestions fit the bill:
fragrant, red (or anything but yellow) anthers, and fuller rather than single.

I read that Red Letter Day is a beautiful rose, I would love to have one! But it is very rare.

As far as Lavender Simplex goes, you might try to track thru Trish at Ashdown roses. Heres the link re: breeder Sean McCann's roses

I have a BEAUTIFUL pink rose - 40+ petals that I've been trying to identify. It's filaments are red and anthers are yellow. It has a strong rose fragrance ...in cooler weather mine takes on citrus notes. I'm currently thinking it might be Pink Peace but am not sure what color stamens that one has. Was researching when I ran across this..... I have several photos posted in Antique roses & Name that rose.....

Oh WOW. The Charlatan is fabulous! Is it a climber? Now I have to go look it up . . . . . Right now, I have a few tiny bushes with dark stamens, since I moved and lost a lot. I have Summer Wine, Candy Cane, and Grace Seward. I can get cuttings off of Golden Showers, though.

It can be trained as a small climber. I just got it so I don't know how big it will get.

Sugar Moon?

Wimi has pink stamens.
