Red Intuition problems?

I'm puzzled. Red Intuition is in it's second year . It has done well all around except, the centers are always folded in. Sort of tucked inside itself. They never open correctly and have only had 1 that showed a spiral center.

Also, this same plant has a reversion cane to Belle Rouge?.
I'm wondering if perhaps mine just is a dud or should I give it more time? I've never had this happen before. SP or Wait it out?

I'm hoping someone can chime in here and offer advice or their experience. I don't know what to do!

*The picture shows both the reversion and the tucking.

Have you tried gently "untucking" it? I sometimes find I have to manually help blooms to completely open, although I don't remember having that problem with Red Intuition.

I don't know about the reversion problem. My Red Intuition has never done it.

My Red Intuition rarely had a good center. I think it has so many petals that it just gets tangled up in itself. It's still a lovely rose even with it's messy center!

I've got a fairly new Red Intuition and already it has a completely red cane. I haven't seen the tucking problem though...seems to open up those fully double blooms just fine although they are slow at every stage.
