Next Meeting - Friday, June 8
Program - Panel Discussion: My Wonderful Roses and Disaster Roses

Ever wonder about which roses to purchase. Why buy a "turkey" rose which you later have to shovel prune. Our expert panel will discuss their Wonderful Roses and Disaster Roses. This is your time to ask the panel which roses to buy and which to avoid.

When and Where Do We Meet?

Our meetings occur the 2nd Friday of each month (except during July and August) at the O'Connor Medical Office Building, 2101 Forest Avenue, San Jose - right next to O'Connor Hospital. Doors open at 7:00 PM, program starts at 7:30 PM. Directions

About the SCCRS

The Santa Clara County Rose Society (SCCRS) was founded in 1927, and is affiliated with the American Rose Society (ARS). There are currently approximately 200 members in the SCCRS. Our mission is to encourage interest in the rose, to promote its cultivation, and to disseminate information on its culture among any interested people. Although this home page is mostly intended for residents of Santa Clara County, we hope that people outside the county will find it useful too.
