The Journal of Horticulture, Cottage Gardener, and Country Gentleman p. 233 (Mar 31, 1865) CLIMBING DEVONIENSIS AND ROSE SPORTS. Henry Curtis, Torquay. While on the subject of sports it may be interesting to mention that in the year 1840, observing a running or barren shoot on a plant of the old Aimee Vibert Noisette, I immediately budded it on the Celine and fixed it, and I had the pleasure of first sending it to Mr. Rivers as a climbing Aimee Vibert, which character it has since maintained.
As you may see in references this sport of Aimée Vibert was found by H. (= Henry) and not by William Curtis. "Henry Curtis's The Beauties of the Rose
This scarce and delightful work, The Beauties of the Rose, Containing Portraits of the Principal Varieties of the Choicest Perpetuals With Plain Instructions for Their Cultivation, was published by noted nurseryman and artist, Henry Curtis. It was published in two parts, 1850 and 1853, in London."
