HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

‘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
