The Dublin Roses recently attended the hit broadway musical "The Producers".

Rumour has it that Gayb0 was giving a few tips to some of the Roses, but no further details are available at this time :-)

Alice O'Sullivan was not only the first ever Rose of Tralee but was also the Dublin Rose ! She is seen here at the recent launch of the International Festival with current Rose of Tralee Aoife Kelly

In it's early years, entrants for the Rose of Tralee had to be from Tralee Town and surrounding parishes only ! Photo shows Alice O'Sullivan today, still looking every inch a Rose :-)

Alice O'Sullivan and Current Rose of Tralee Aoife Kelly

A group of Tralee Business men got together in the difficult economic conditions of 1950's Ireland and discussed ways of bringing more business into Tralee Town. The Rose of Tralee was born out of these discussions. Photo shows the first Rose of Tralee winner, Alice O'Sullivan from Dublin
