..."a running shoot" was observed b Mr. H. Curtis* on the old Amée Vibert Noisette, and he budded it on Celine; thus a climbing Aimée Vibert was first produced and afterwards propagated.

Mr. Rivers, as I am informed by him, possessed a new French rose with delicate smooth shoots, pale glaucous-green leaves, and semi-double pale flesh-coloured flowers striped with dark red; and on branches thus characterised there suddenly appeared in more than one instance, the famous old rose called the Baronne Prevost, with its stout thorny shoots, and immense, uniformly and richly coloured double flowers; so that in this case the shoots, leaves, and flowers, all at once changed their character by bud-variation.

I have seen the Beauty of Billiard with a quarter and with half the flower almost white.

The common double moss-roseR. centifolia) by bud-variation; for the branches of the common moss-rose have several times been known to produce Provence roses, wholly or partially destitute of moss: I have seen one such instance, and several others have been recorded ('Trans. Hort. Soc.,' vol. iv 1822, p. 137; 'Gard. Chron.,' 1842, p. 422)
(1868)  Page(s) 380-381.  
 
Many cases have been recorded of roses suddenly becoming striped or changing their character by segments: some plants of Comtesse de Chabrillant, which is properly rose-colored, were exhibited in 1862*, with a quarter and with half the flower almost white.

The double and highly-coloured Belladonna rose has been known* to produce by suckers both semi-double and almost single white roses; whilst duckers from these semi-double white roses reverted to perfectly characterised Belladonnas.

According to M. Verlot* a variety called Rosa cannabifolia, which has peculiarly shaped leaflets, and differs from every member of the family in the leaves being opposite instead of alternate, suddenly appeared on a plant of R. alba in the gardens of Luxembourg.

Th Austrian bramble (R. lutea) not rarely* produces branches with pure yellow flowers; and Prof. Henslow has seen exactly half the flower of a pure yellow, and I have seen narrow yellow streaks on a single petal, of which the rest was of the usual copper colour.

Mr. Rivers also informs me that he raised two or three roses of the Provence class from seed of the old single moss-rose; and this latter kind was produced in 1807 by bud-variation from the common moss-rose.
