  We present and analyze the optical and X-ray catalogs of moderate-redshift cluster candidates from the ROSAT Optical X-ray Survey, or ROXS. The survey covers 4.8 square degrees (23 ROSAT PSPC pointings). The cross-correlated cluster catalogs were constructed by comparing two independent catalogs extracted from the optical and X-ray bandpasses, using a matched filter technique for the optical data and a wavelet technique for the X-ray data. We cross-id cluster candidates in each catalog. In Paper II we present the cluster catalogs and a numerical simulation of ROXS. We also present color-magnitude plots for several cluster candidates, and examine the prominence of the red sequence in each. We find that the X-ray clusters analyzed in this way do not all have a prominent red sequence. We conclude that while the red sequence may be distinct for massive, virialized clusters, it may be less so for lower-mass clusters at even moderate redshifts. Multiple, complementary methods of selecting and defining clusters may be essential, particularly at high redshift where all methods run into completeness limits, incomplete understanding of physical evolution, and projection effects.
