"The paintings of Charles Raymond are of a deeper complexity than the roses of Redouté if only because he is not content with the single spray that can be held in zhe fingers of one hand. At times with Redouté it could be that he has chosen on prupose a branch that has few leaves. They are cut roses ready for the vase ; and therefore they are, already, a little trimmed and tamed. In the paintings of Charles Raymond we may feel that he has thrust his hand into the rose bush until the thorns have pricked him. He paints to the heart of the rose ; and the graceful or artistic arrangement of the rose bough is no concern of his. We get, it may be, a more truthful portrait of each subject than with the painter of the roses of La Malmaison, where every flower is alovely neophyte or coryphée, all are dew-fresh and rose-scented, and we get the graces but not the rigours of the école des roses." Old Garden Roses (1955). p. 12
