I wish I could help! I’m no sugar flower expert by any means, but looking at it, I agree——I would go with a peony cutter, & to me the center looks kind of ‘balled up’ almost like a ranunculus. Maybe make a ranunculus with peony cutters? Does that make sense? LOL!
I love David Austin roses. I used to own a landscaping company, & I specialized in true antique roses, Austin roses, & English perennial gardens. I’m a rose FREAK!!! :-) Can’t wait to see how you do with this one! You’ll be great!
