It served as a link between professional rose growers (like the Cochet family) and rose lovers. It dealt with cultivation methods, the latest varieties of roses (many from the Cochet house, but not only) with their characteristics, informed treaders about the latest innovations and reported on national and international exhibitions and competitions. Camille Bernardin (president of the Rosière Society) is the editor-in-chief until 1884; Pierre-Philémon Cochet succeeds him, then it is the turn of Pierre Cochet to ensure the direction of the review. In 1911, the Journal des Roses was bought by Charles Cochet-Cochet, cousin and brother-in-law of Pierre Cochet; but it ceased publication when WWI broke out.
