The 396-acre Trabuco Rose Preserve is located in Trabuco Canyon, northwest of the City of Rancho Santa Margarita. Bordered by the Cleveland National Forest to the north and Trabuco Creek to the south, the preserve features rolling terrain with elevations ranging from 1,120 to 1,650 feet above sea level.

The preserve helps connect adjacent open spaces in the foothills, protecting important natural lands and limiting urban encroachment.
