Let the OCRS Show You How
The OCRS

     The Orange County Rose Society (OCRS) was founded in 1964 in Orange County, California.  The organization is dedicated to promoting the cultivation of roses, educating the public about roses and their care, and sponsoring rose competitions. We are an affiliate of the American Rose Society (ARS) and part of the Pacific Southwest District of the ARS. New members are always welcome. We meet the first Thursday of the month (except July and August) at 7 p.m. at the Westminster Community Center, 8200 Westminster Avenue (corner of Jackson Street/Westminster Avenue).  Our meetings are always free and open to the public, and there is no charge for parking in the lot behind the building.
