We ask when a constant mean curvature \(n\)-submanifold foliated by spheres in one of the Euclidean, hyperbolic and Lorentz-Minkowski spaces \((E^{n+1},\;H^{n+1}\) or \(L^{n+1})\), is a hypersurface of revolution. In \(E^{n+1}\) and \(L^{n+1}\) we will assume that the spheres lie in parallel hyperplanes and in the case of hyperbolic space \(H^{n+1}\), the spheres will be contained in parallel horospheres. Finally, Riemann examples in \(L^3\) are constructed, that is, non-rotational spacelike surfaces foliated by circles in parallel planes.
