Autumn Edition, DINGEE GUIDE TO ROSE CULTURE 



White Maman Cochet. 



The Bride 



There is no other white Rose more satisfactory than 

 The Bride. When planted in the open ground the 

 flowers are sometimes found to be delicately tinted with 

 pink, making it exceedingly attractive. The buds and 

 flowers are unusually large, well formed and deliciously 

 perfumed. 



Bridesmaid. This variety is valuable for cutting and 

 does finely in the open ground ; a sport from the old 

 and popular pink Tea, Catherine Mermet, but of a 

 fine, clear, dark pink, much deeper and more constant 

 in color than Mermet. The bush is a strong, sturdy 

 grower, bearing all Summer a profusion of dainty, 

 beautiful flowers. 



Marie Van Houtte. It is a strong and study grower, 

 blooming constantly, with great freedom. The color 

 of the flowers, which are large, full and double, is 

 pale canary-yellow, passing to rich, creamy white, 

 shaded with pale rose. 



Marie Guillot. We recommend it as one of the most 

 reliable white Tea Roses in cultivation, especially 

 for outdoor culture. The color is pure white, some- 

 times faintly tinged pale yellow. The flowers are 

 beautifully made, very large, full and double; the 

 buds are very pretty, of sweet fragrance. 



Enfant de Lyon (The Sweet Anise Rose). In color the 

 flowers are a beautiful creamy rose, delicately shaded 

 with coppery yellow, and very fragrant. The flowers 

 are much admired for their color and the distinct 

 Anise fragrance peculiar to this variety. This variety 

 is becoming more popular every year. 



Papa Gontier. A strong, vigorous grower and constant 

 bloomer ; one of the very best and most valuable, both 

 for open ground and greenhouse ; color rich cherry- 

 red, passing to clear, glowing crimson. One of the 

 best for all purposes, with immense buds and mag- 

 nificent flowers. 



Freiherr Von Marschall. As an outdoor Rose it has no 

 superior. It has wonderfully beautiful foliage and 

 produces large, full, beautifully shaped flowers, which 

 are borne in profusion all through the season. The 

 color is bright red, one of the best red Tea Roses 

 that is known. 



The Famous Cochet 

 Roses 



The Cochet Roses are perfectly hardy in 

 every section of the country, even where the 

 winters are most severe, with slight protection. 

 No matter where you live, they will give per- 

 fect satisfaction. They thrive vigorously and 

 bloom lavishly all summer long, and increase 

 in beauty with the passing years. 

 Pink Maman Cochet. The buds are large, full 



and firm, elegantly pointed, showing depth 



and richness as they expand. The superb 



flowers are clear, rich pink. 

 White Maman Cochet. Snowy white, with 



sometimes a faint tinge of pink. 

 Red Maman Cochet (Helen Gould). The flowers
