Optical VRI and infrared JHK images of the region near the IRAS source 06314+0427, which lies within the Rosette Molecular Cloud (RMC), near the CO peak as observed by Blitz & Stark 1986, have been obtained to investigate star formation in that region. The images clearly show the boundary of the cloud against the Hα emission from the Rosette nebula. The images also reveal a partially embedded cluster, not coincident with the IRAS source, along the edge of the molecular cloud. Two comet-like objects are seen in emission and a highly reddened point-source (V-I > 3), coincident with IRAS 06314+0427, is found among a small aggregate of stars (see also Block, Gaballe & Dyson 1993). The IR colors suggest that many of the stars are PMS stars with at least one source being a candidate Herbig Ae/Be star (see also Hanson et al. 1993). References Blitz, L. & Stark, A.
