Next Meeting - Friday, April 11
Program - How to Enter Roses in the Spring Show

Horticultural Rose Judge, Consulting Rosarian, and Rose Arrangement Judge Barbara Gordon will discuss the the tips and tricks for entering roses in a show. She will also make an arrangement of roses for a member to take home. You don't need to be an experienced exhibitor to enjoy this meeting; join us and be inspired by the process of showing roses! Anyone can do it, see how you can make your roses look their best.

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.
