The Always Popular Cochet Roses 



See Colored Photographic Reproduction on Back Cover 



If you want five of the finest Roses listed in this book, which will produce hundreds of superb flowers throughout 

 the growing season, and producing the kind of flowers one never tires of, order this Cochet set. Pso matter where you 

 live, they wiU give you perfect satisfaction. The Cochet Roses are perfectly hardy in every part of the country, even 

 where the winters are most severe, with slight protection. In the more temperate sections and in the South they 

 thrive vigorously and bloom most lavishly all summer long, growing into great, strong, lusty bushes which increase 

 in beauty with the passing years. 



Yellow JVIaman Cochet. One of the best hardy, ever- 

 blooming yeUow Roses. It is ideal for open ground 

 culture — a typical Cochet Rose, with gracefully molded 

 buds, flowers, magnificent when open, on stiff, strong 

 stems. This kind is identical in every way with Pink 

 and White Cochet, except in the color of the flower, 

 which is deep sulphur-yellow. 



Red Maman Cochet {Helen Gould). A Rose that wfll 

 grow and give satisfaction in almost any soil or situa- 

 tion. It produces flowers in amazing profusion, on 

 long, strong shoots. The flowers are very full, perfectly 

 double; buds long and pointed. Color, warm, rosy 

 crimson. 



Crimson Maman Cochet {Etoile de France). A fitting 

 companion to the other Cochet Roses on account of its 

 vigor of growth, stiffness of foHage, freedom of bloom 

 and hardiness. It bears masses of full, deep-formed 

 flowers singly, on long, substantial stems. The color 

 is a new and clear shade of red or velvety crimson, 

 brightening in the center; of exquisite fragrance.

White INIaman Cochet. A most magnificent snow- 

 white Rose, with sometimes a faint tinge of pale blush. 

 It has the same freedom of bloom as the Pink Cochet, 

 the same magnificent form of buds and flowers, and the 

 same hardiness — standing at the very head of all Roses 

 as the best white kind for open ground culture. Vigor- 

 ous as an oak and hardy everywhere. 



Pink jMaman Cochet. The Queen of all Pink Garden 

 Roses. The buds are large, full and firm, elegantly 

 pointed, showing depth and richness as they expand. 

 The superb flowers open perfectly double, are extra 

 large and of splendid substance. Hardy in every section 

 of the country; clear, rich pink, changing to silvery- 

 rose.

Mt. Rainier, Md., March 9, 1926 

 The Dingee & Conard Co., West Grove, Pa. 

 Gentlemen: Last year I sent you an order for Roses. They 

 one-year size and I was afraid I need not expect any blooms the first 

 year. I certainly was agreeably disappointed for I had blooms from 

 July until November. I cut the last blossom the day before Thanks- 

 giving. 



I never saw anything more lovely than Charles Dingee 

 and the Pink Cochet. It was such a pleasure to take care of them 

 for I was not bothered by insect pests or plant diseases. The foliage 

 on all the Roses was wonderful. Yours very truly, 



Augusta B. Hinkelman
