Next Meeting - Friday, January 9
Program - Rose Pruning Demonstration & Rose Auction
John Petrula will show us how to prune hybrid tea roses. Cynthia Chuang will demonstrate her expertise at pruning miniature roses. Please bring your questions and learn from the best.
After the pruning demonstration we will hold our 5th Annual Rose Auction. You can fill up your garden with bargains from this popular event. Bring your already pruned roses and wrap them in a plastic garbage bag so we can keep the floor clean. Be sure to attach a label with the name and type of rose.
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 PM (for socializing and entering
roses), program starts at 7:45 PM. Here is
a map of the meeting location.
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.
