“All I can say to any young woman is to go for it and apply,” said the current Rose of Tralee, Jennifer Byrne. “The Rose of Tralee international Festival has truly been the most incredible experience of my life and I hope to encourage as many young women as possible to take part and become their local Rose,” she said.
