the world</a>. The festival, held annually in the town of <a href="/wiki/Tralee" title="Tralee">Tralee</a> in <a href="/wiki/County_Kerry" title="County Kerry">County Kerry</a>, takes its inspiration from a 19th-century <a href="/wiki/Ballad" title="Ballad">ballad</a> of the <a href="/wiki/The_Rose_of_Tralee_(song)" title="The Rose of Tralee (song)">same name</a> about a woman called Mary, who because of her beauty was called "The Rose of Tralee". The words of the song are credited to C. (or E.) Mordaunt Spencer and the music to <a href="/wiki/Charles_William_Glover" title="Charles William Glover">Charles William Glover</a>, but a story circulated in connection with the festival claims that the song was written by William Pembroke Mulchinock, a wealthy <a href="/wiki/Church_of_Ireland" title="Church of Ireland">Protestant</a>, out of love for Mary O'Connor, a poor <a href="/wiki/Catholicism" class="mw-redirect" title="Catholicism">Catholic</a> maid in service to his parents.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rose_of_Tralee_(festival)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The festival has its origins in the local <a href="/wiki/Carnival_Queen" title="Carnival Queen">Carnival Queen</a>, once an annual town event, fallen by the wayside due to post-war emigration. In 1957, the Race Week Carnival was resurrected in Tralee, and it featured a Carnival Queen. The idea for the festival came when a group of local business people met in Harty's bar, Tralee to come up with ideas to bring more tourists to the town during the horse racing meeting and to encourage expats to return to their native Tralee. Led by Dan Nolan, then Managing Director of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Kerryman" title="The Kerryman">The Kerryman</a></i> newspaper, they hit on the idea of the Rose of Tralee Festival. The event started in 1959 on a budget of £750.<sup id="cite_ref-IrishIndo22Jan09_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-IrishIndo22Jan09-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The founders of the organisation were Billy Clifford, an accountant with the Rank Organisation, who was one of the first recipients of the Golden Rose award (which was inaugurated to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Festival of Kerry); Dan Nolan, owner of the local newspaper The Kerryman, involved with the Tralee Races; Jo Hussey, a shopkeeper in Tralee; Ted Keane Snr, a local restaurateur, and Margaret Dwyer, a New Yorker, with strong Tralee roots, who moved back to Tralee in 1948 with her two young boys having been widowed in 1945. </p><p>Originally, only women from Tralee were eligible to take part. In the early 1960s it was extended to include any women from Kerry, and in 1967 it was further extended to include any women of Irish birth or ancestry.<sup id="cite_ref-IrishIndo22Jan09_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-IrishIndo22Jan09-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Recent winners have included women of mixed heritage: Mindy O'Sullivan (Filipina-Irish), Tara Talbot (Filipina-Irish), Clare Kambamettu (Indian-Irish) and Kirsten Mate Maher (Zambian-Irish). On winning the title in 2018 Maher said "There is no 'typical Irish woman'. We're all different and we all come in all shapes and sizes and skin colours... We're such a diverse community, and we need to embrace that".<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 2004 the <a href="/wiki/Rose_of_Tralee_Regional_Finals" class="mw-redirect" title="Rose of Tralee Regional Finals">Rose of Tralee Regional Finals</a> were introduced to offer more people an opportunity to participate in the Rose of Tralee International Festival.

It became bigger each year and in 2015 the Regional Finals brought together 56 Roses from the United States, Ireland, Britain, Europe, Canada and the United Arab Emirates. Over three selection nights, seven Irish Roses and sixteen International Roses were then selected to progress and join the other 9 Roses at the Rose of Tralee International Festival in August. </p><p>From 2004 to 2015, the number of Rose Centres grew to more than 65. In 2014 it was announced that the 2015 Regional Finals would be the last, in favour of a revamped selection process held in Tralee. </p><p>The 2020 and 2021 events were cancelled due to the restrictions in place to address the <a href="/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland" title="COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland">COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In December 2021, it was announced that the festival would return in 2022. </p><p>In December 2021, it was also announced by Anthony O'Gara that married women and transgender women can enter for the Rose of Tralee, and that the maximum age limit had increased to 29 years of age.<sup id="cite_ref-Irish_Examiner_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Irish_Examiner-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In July 2023, it was announced that <a href="/wiki/Kathryn_Thomas" title="Kathryn Thomas">Kathryn Thomas</a> would join <a href="/wiki/D%C3%A1ith%C3%AD_%C3%93_S%C3%A9" title="Dáithí Ó Sé">Dáithí Ó Sé</a> as a co-host, marking the first time that the event would have two presenters. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Modern_practice">Modern practice</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rose_of_Tralee_(festival)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Modern practice"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Rose of Tralee festival is held every year in <a href="/wiki/Tralee" title="Tralee">Tralee</a>, <a href="/wiki/County_Kerry" title="County Kerry">County Kerry</a>, to choose a young woman to be crowned the Rose. The winner is the woman deemed best to match the attributes relayed in the song: "lovely and fair". She is selected on the basis of personality and should be a good role-model for the festival and ambassador for Ireland during her travels around the world. It is not a beauty pageant and the participants (Roses) are not judged on their appearances but on their personality and suitability to serve as ambassadors for the festival. The festival bills itself as a celebration of the "aspirations, ambitions, intellect, social responsibility and Irish heritage" of modern young women.<sup id="cite_ref-IrishIndo22Jan09_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-IrishIndo22Jan09-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Each of the 32 counties of the island of Ireland selects a Rose, and the international Roses, chosen from around the world, also participate in the qualifying rounds now staged in the Festival Dome in Tralee.
