The Ventura County Rose Society will hold its monthly meeting on Thursday, May 24, 2012, at the Ventura County Office of Education Conference Center at 5100 Adolfo Rd., Camarillo.

The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for advice from Consulting Rosarians and refreshments, and our speaker presentation will begin at 7:30 pm.

The VCRS meeting will spotlight Dr. Thomas Cairns, one of the most famous Rosarians in the United States. He has been the President of both the American Rose Society and the World Federation of Roses winning Gold Medals from both organizations. He is a world famous Rose Judge, author of numerous books on the cultivation of the rose, and the Editor of Modern Roses X and XI. He has won just about every award and honor available in the Rose World. Dr. Cairns will be speaking on "Growing Beautiful Roses". Our roses will certainly benefit from hearing Dr. Cairns.
