The Queen of all Pink Garden 

 Roses* 



Maman CochetJ 



♦:»The Peerless New Tea Rose*:* 



N color and form of flower this superb new Rose is distinctly different from any other variety. 

 There are no others similar to it. Another year of careful tests and observations convinces 

 us that for real satisfaction this is perhaps the best pink Rose for open-ground cultivation. 

 It is hardly ever without flowers. Many of the popular pink Roses, w^hile highly meri- 

 torious and satisfactory, appear to a disadvantage alongside of this new French variety. 



^ ^ ^ MAMAN COCHET ^ ^ ^ 



is without exception one of the finest new pink 

 Tea Roses introduced last year, and up to date 

 is the most satisfactory of all pink varieties for 

 culture in open ground. Last Spring we planted 

 a large number of it in open ground. With us 

 it surpasses all others in growth, profusion of 

 bloom and superb form of buds and flowers. 

 Such beauty and exquisite form as is possessed 

 by Maman Cochet is w^ell nigh marvelous, and 

 cannot be seen in any other Rose we know. 

 The buds are beautiful, large, full and firm, 

 and elegantly pointed ; as they expand the 

 petals show great depth and richness, some- 

 times measuring two-and-a-half inches from 



base to tip. The flower is superb when open, 

 extra large and perfectly double. Small pot 

 plants, when planted in open ground, quickly 

 make large, strong bushes that produce, on 

 long, stift* stems, great numbers of perfect 

 flowers that are enchanting in fragrance and 

 delicate brightness. 



Of its Color 



it need only be said that it is a dear, rich pink, 

 changing to silvery rose. It is a strong, healthy 

 grower, absolutely free from disease ; blooms 

 both constantly and profusely ; is hardy with 

 ordinary protection. It is the queen of 

 all pink garden Roses. 



As we see it, one good Rose like 

 Maman Cochet is worth a whole collec- 

 tion of poor ones — at any price. In our 

 vast collection we have been careful to 

 exclude all varieties not possessing dis- 

 tinctive merit. This new variety has 

 unusual value, and w^e consider it one 

 of the best ever-blooming Tea Roses in 

 cultivation. For garden culture it is 

 not surpassed b}^ any Rose we know. 

 Mons. Cochet, the originator, refused 

 one thousand dollars for the original 

 stock of a few plants. Its worth is not 

 overestimated. If you want a Rose 

 that will give you satisfaction from the 

 day it is planted, we w^ould urge you to 

 plant extensively of Maman Cochet.
