Roger Phillips & Martyn Rix in their publication "Roses" (Macmillan, 1988) state that 'Mutabilis' first came to the attention of botanists when it was given to Swiss botanist Henri Correvon of Geneva by Prince Gilberto Borromeo.
It is possible that the rose first appeared in the garden at Isola Bella in 1896 or before then. Writing in the "Revue Horticole" in 1934 (p.60), Henri Correvon states that the rose was given to him by Prince Borromeo 40 years previously. Correvon later saw the same rose growing in Milan but nobody knew the name of it, so he named it very aptly 'Mutabilis', even though there had been a Sempervirens variety of this name previously. (Source: The Graham Stuart Thomas Rose Book, Frances Lincoln Ltd, 2004, p.127).
The actual date of introduction to Geneva by Correvon was probably around 1932.
'Mutabilis' is a parent of 'Masquerade'.

Still flowering the first of november, not harmed by frost or rain! The colours at cool weather are mostly very light.

Today (March 29th) I saw something that quite took be by surprise -- a plant of Mutabilis growing up and through some shrubs and a tree fully 15 feet tall, in full flower. I know Mutabilis can grow large if left unpruned with some scaffolding to clamber upon, but this plant looked like a very vigorous climber, not a shrub. The charm of the flowers on a warm spring day was a welcome sight. There were orange flower buds, just opened peachy-apricot flowers, fully opened blooms in all shades of warm pink from delicate seashell to lurid lipstick tones, and the oldest flower petals dangled like strips of crimson satin. This makes me think I might use Mutabilis as a climber in a mixed shrub and tree border or very tall hedge. It sure was an awsome sight!

Alas, no. I didn't have my cell phone or camera with me. I can go back and take a picture sometime. Hope it will have as many flowers on it when I do.
