One of my 'Voodoo' seedlings has been a bit slow in developing its full-fledged blooms. The seedling was born on June 19, 2008 but waited a little over a year to show its first bloom, and then it took another 4 years to really express itself. The petals on the latest blooms can best be described as having scalloped edges, and this attribute is rather rare in the rose kingdom. I've heard about fimbriated (fringed) rose blooms, ruffled blooms, and frilled blooms, but so far I've seen just one other rose with scalloped petals. That would be the 'Easy Does It' rose, photos of which may be seen on Google Images.
Below you'll see what I'm talking about. The seedling's first bloom was colorful enough, but really didn't hint at what would develop 4 years later -- a full 5-inch bloom with scalloped petals.

Update of May 23, 2016: It must be the weather or something, but another one of my 'Voodoo' seedlings has developed scalloped edges on a bloom. The seedling was born on April 30, 2011 and is now in its sixth growing season. Below is a "baby photo" as well as a photo of today's bloom --
