'Rosa centifolia var. cristata Prévost synonym' rose References
Article (magazine)  (2006)  Page(s) 68, 71.  
 
p. 68: ...identical phenotypes were found within OGR cultivars for R. xcentifolia L. 'Rubra' and 'Crested Moss', for 'Kazanlik', 'Quatre Saisons Blanc Mousseux' and 'York and Lancaster', and for 'Old Blush' and 'Viridiflora'.

p. 71: ʻCrested Mossʼ, apportioned to the Centifolias (Cairns, 2000) or to the Moss (Beales et al., 1998), is considered by some authors as a seedling of R. ×centifolia (Beales et al., 1998). According to these data, ʻCrested Mossʼ shared the same allelic profile with R. ×centifolia ʻRubraʼ. That it originates from this hybrid accession is thus confirmed but ʻCrested Mossʼ is more likely a sport of the accession ʻRubraʼ than a seedling.

‘Crested Moss’/’Chapeau de Napoléon’/’Cristata’: Mousseux… sans doute pas un vrai rosier mousseux, car il est dépourvu de mousse, hormis ces excroissances en crête sur le calice de la fleur… buisson anguleux à port évasé… aiguillons épars mais acérés… feuillage peu fourni, gris-vert, à larges dents de scie… fleurs identiques à celles de ‘Centifolia’ par la forme, la taille et le parfum capiteux, mais d’un ton de rose légèrement plus vif… Fribourg, Suisse, avant 1820. Semis probable de Rosa x centifolia. Award of Garden Merit RHS 1993.
