Après la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale, Mme Fernand Cognet reprend le flambeau et dirige l’établissement qui se spécialise dans les roses. Obtentrice reconnue, elle a créé des variétés nouvelles, dont un beau grimpant jaune soufre baptisé « Ville de Paris ». Les pépinières du Couasnon fermeront leurs portes en 1978.
