Welcome visitors new and old to our website. We hope you find our site informative and enjoyable. We also hope it may inspire you to grow roses and attend our monthly meetings. The OCRS presents speakers on many topics focusing on rose care and how to enjoy the beauty of the rose in your garden and home.  We have many knowledgeable rosarians among our members, many of whom are certified Consulting Rosarians and Master Rosarians that are always willing to share their knowledge.  It would be our pleasure to have you join us.
