The Orange County Rose Society welcomes you! Our mission is to foster and encourage all aspects of rose culture including rose education and community service.  To further this goal, the OCRS is affiliated with the American Rose Society (ARS) and is part of the Southwest District of the ARS.  We hope you find our website informative and inspirational.  We also encourage you to attend our monthly meetings (the first Thursday of each month except July, August and December) to learn more about growing roses and network with other rose enthusiasts.  We have many Consulting and Master Rosarians among our members, and they always are willing to share their knowledge. It would be a pleasure to have you join the OCRS and share your love of roses
