MAMAN COCHET—TEA ‘‘Tue E rte or THE Rosz GARDEN’’ 
Maman Cochet. Tea. (1893.) A famous old tea rose, and one of the 
finest for cutting. Long a great favorite,—flowers are large to 4 inches, fully . 
double and beautifully formed—very fragrant. Its special feature is its unique 
color,—sometimes pale pink, sometimes cream beautifully shaded with various 
tones of deep-rose. Highly recommended for Southern California and all mild 
climates. 1.75 
Climbing Maman Cochet. Cli. Tea. (1915.) One of our prettiest 
climbers—for Southern California and mild climates, only. 1.75 
White Maman Cochet. Tea. (1896.) ‘‘A sport from Maman Cochet with 
snowy-white flowers usually tinged with blush or cream. A distinct and beautiful variety. 
Easily the best white tea rose.’’-—Thomasville Nurseries. One of the most beauti- 
fully formed, satiny roses this writer has ever seen. Le 
Marechal Niel. Noisette. (1864.) ‘‘A celebrity among climbing roses,”’ 
still unexcelled in the clear, golden-yellow class, when planted in warm, sunny 
locations, not hardy in severe climates. Says Mrs. Keays, in ‘‘Old Roses’’—*‘The 
Primrose way of yellow Tea-Noztsettes leads us to this loveliest of the solidly golden-yellow 
climbing roses. Very large and deep, full to the brim, very highly scented, very lasting on 
the plant or cut for the house; arose to be looked up to, from below, as the stem is weak for 
the huge globular bloom. Marechal Niel caused a great sensation when it came out, and 
causes the like now wherever it is grown and blooms.”’ 
And from Dean Hole, 1869—"*. . . Since the time when a baby in floriculture, I 
first began to take notice of Roses, more than thirty years ago, three new stars of special 
brightness have glittered in our firmament—Gloire de Dijon, Charles Lefebvre, and Mare- 
chal Niel. The latter is, I think, the greatest acquisition, because we had no hardy Yellow 
Rose, previous to its introduction, realizing, as Marechal Niel does, in the wonderful 
beauty of its pendant flowers, their size, shape, colour, fragrance, longevity and abundance 
—our every desire and hope.” 2.00
