Welcome!

Welcome to the home page of the Santa Clara County Rose Society. Santa Clara County encompasses the area from Palo Alto to Morgan Hill, California (essentially most of Silicon Valley). We are located in USDA Zone 9.

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.
