Current Kilkenny Rose Lisa O’Rourke joined the ladies to tell them what to expect on their Rose journey.
Lisa has been the Kilkenny Rose for the last two years. During that time she enjoyed helicopter and race car rides, all the fun of the Tralee festival and even a trip to the USA to represent the festival.
Meanwhile, applications for the 2026 Rose of Tralee International Festival are now open for Rose Escorts and one Kilkenny GAA club has already put the call out for ‘eligible gentlemen’ in their area.
The job of the Rose Escort at the Rose of Tralee International Festival is to ensure that the Rose has an unforgettable and stress-free experience.
The successful candidates will first take part in a team-building boot camp in June in Kerry, while also taking part in the Festival, parades and much more.
