Do rowan whips have black buds?

cmac

Was rooting around under our large beech tree today and noticed an abundance of 1/2 year old whips coming up. Adjacent are ash and rowan (sorbus).
The whips have distinctive black 'buds' and while I know this is indicative of ash trees does anyone know if rowan whips also have black 'buds'?
(didn't have a camera with me so photos will have to wait until tomorrow).
Thanks.
