‘Mme. Ravary’. (“Carmen Sylvia”) HT. rrr / fff / 4. Pernet-Ducher 1899. Provenance: Antique Rose Emporium. Pearly white flowers unfurl from apricot-buff colored buds, opening with a glistening porcelain finish. An old Tea-styled Hybrid Tea. After many years waiting to find a plant of the original ‘Mme. Ravary’, we have been able to confirm Phillip Robinson’ suspicion that this foundling identified as “Carmen Sylva” is the same as ‘Mme. Ravary’. Such delights as this rose convince me that we must redouble our efforts to preserve old Hybrid teas. Often described as being of rather orange coloring, the flame tones seen in this rose in 1899 reflected the hope in the eyes of rosarians for the dawn of the Pernetians which had not yet arrived.

‘Mme. Ravary’. A few minutes ago, we had hopeful rosarians looking for yellow in ‘Antoine Rivoire’. With ‘Mme. Ravary’ they thought they had it. “It is a real yellow HT”, exulted Foster-Melliar. “Orange-yellow” hoped Pemberton. I can remember this rose very well; a kind of light chamois pink colour I would call it. It came from Pernet-Ducher in 1899, and was popular for about thirty years.

L. A. Wyatt. ‘Mme. Ravary’ an apricot-tinted hybrid tea with a predominance of tea in its make up. This highly esteemed buttonhole rose suffered, however, from the disability of all roses of its associated colour in that it faded quickly in the open ground
