Uma:

 

There's a pretty extensive listing of fireblight resistant pears on the NCGR-Corvallis website.  You'll find the list here:

 

        http://www.ars-grin.gov/ars/PacWest/Corvallis/ncgr/catalogs/pyrblres.html

 

Neither Colette nor White Doyenne are on this list, I'm afraid. 

 

The NCRG-Corvallis accession information for these two pears is here:

 

        White Doyenne:

 

                http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/acc_search.pl?accid=white+doyenne&inactive=Yes

 

        Colette:

 

                http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/acc_search.pl?accid=colette&inactive=Yes

 

Hope this is of some help.

 

John
