The search for the next Waterford Rose is underway
The Waterford Rose 2026 selection will take place on March 14th. Young women are encouraged to apply online.
The search is underway to find the 2026 Waterford Rose. Young women from all over the county are invited to apply online.
The Waterford Rose Selection 2026 will take place on Saturday 14 March at the Tower Hotel.
The current Rose of Tralee, Katelyn Cummins recently met with some Waterford Rose applicants to launch the search.
Katelyn along with Waterford Rose Co Ordinator, Lyn Moloney and Chloe O'Donnell (2017 Waterford Rose) briefed the applicants as to what is in store for them on their journey.
Ms Moloney 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 a week-long festival 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 Waterford Rose Centre would be delighted if any Club, Society, or business considered sponsoring an entrant for the 2026 Waterford Rose Selection.
