Search commences for the 2023 Offaly Rose

The search is underway to find the 2023 Offaly Rose and young women from all over the county are invited to apply online ahead of this year’s Offaly Rose Selection which will take place on Saturday 29h April in the Tullamore Court Hotel

The Rose of Tralee International Festival has introduced some exciting changes for the coming years. From this year onwards, rose centres throughout the country will hold a rose selection in their county every second year. This will mean that each rose selected in her county will be guaranteed a place on live TV in the Dome in Tralee.

Lyn Moloney Offaly Rose Co Ordinator, said: “’The Rose of Tralee international Festival is the most incredible experience and I would encourage as many young women as possible to take part and become their local Rose. I guarantee them they will make incredible friends and have an amazing experience.. Many people think that the Rose of Tralee festival is just one week long and they don’t realise that the Roses and Rose Escorts have so many incredible experiences throughout the whole year. All I can say to any young woman is to ‘go for it and apply! “

The desire to be the next Rose of Tralee is stronger than ever with over 4000 women entering selection events around the world since 2014.

Our current Offaly Rose Katie Keogh commented, “Entering the Rose of Tralee international Festival was undoubtedly the best decision I have ever made and After been crowned the Offaly Rose 2018, I then set out to embark on an experience of a life time.

I have made the most exciting memories, and met the most lovely people who I thankfully will have in my life forever from all parts of the world - my Rose Family.

Being a representative of Offaly was one of the proudest moments in my life, and one that I will cherish forever.”

We would like to invite GAA, Camogie Clubs, Societies, Groups and Businesses to nominate a representative from their respective Communities to take part in one of Offaly’s Annual flagship Events.
