Upcoming Events

Display Garden Maintenance and Rose Education 
The Monterey Bay Rose Society maintains a public garden with more than 130 roses at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds. The roses represent a wide variety of colors and styles -- all of which do well in our climate.

We meet monthly on every second Saturday (10 a.m.) to share our knowledge with the public and keep the roses looking their best.  We'd love to have you join us -- bring your gloves and pruners for hands-on learning how to promote more blooms during the season. Rose experts will be there to answer your questions.  

Location:  Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds --  2601 E. Lake Ave., Watsonville -- the rose garden is located near the horse arena -- enter through the Livestock Gate
