The beloved Rose of Tralee returned to screens on Monday with Kathryn Thomas joining Daithi O Se as the show’s first-ever co-host as 18 roses from Ireland and abroad competed for a chance at the title.
The famous festival is now in its 63rd year and the title of Rose of Tralee is something that these 32 roses from Ireland and all around the world are all after - but aside from the crown, what does the winner of the annual competition actually receive?There are a tonne of prizes that the lucky Rose of Tralee can look forward to snagging once they receive the title at the end of tonight’s show.
She will also receive complimentary accommodation at The Meadowlands Hotel every time she returns to Tralee during her year. Kerry County Council will host the Rose of Tralee, and a guest of her choice, for a weeklong holiday in The Kingdom.
