Roses are called “perfect,” since they have both male and female parts on the same flower. The male stamens look like thin stalks (called filaments), each with a knob up top (anther) that contains the pollen. The stamens are on the outside of the flower center. The female pistils (each of which contain a stigma, style, and ovary) are in the very center of the flower. The pistils, if pollinated, will develop seeds in a fruit called a rose hip.
