I don't care if it's outdated or cringe, it's amazing!! I would love to go someday! Not everyone is the same and people should be able to do their thing, right? Isn't that what we've been fighting for for so long? There was a time when every woman would have been expected to look and behave like a Rose, but now it's just one of the many options available. Leave it alone if it doesn't speak to you.

Hi Clisare, I’m Australian and have just now found this posting of your’s . What you said about the Rose comp’ being polarising, has had me belly laughing at the memory of my own experience with it in New Zealand , in 1967, and the ‘Ruckus’ which ensued. I haven’t told th story for ‘ donkeys’ years’, but’ll tell you in the hope that you find it amusing too. The family background is that , on the strength of the strong oral tradition of the ladies of the “fam”, We are directly descended , mostly via the matriarchal line, from Mary of Tralee & Michael ( the whistling groom). My Grandmother, Mary Doogan of Killybegs, told that her mother, Bridget Kevlin, often sat on the knee of her own grandmother, Mary, the rose of Tralee, and heard the old story first hand. In a nutshell , it was that Michael was a groom in her father’s stable and that she became fascinated by him and spent a lot of time down at the stable yard listening to him whistle as he wielded his currycomb . In time, Michael was assigned to “Squire” her whenever she rode with the hunt. Sometimes at difficult jumps, her mare would lose her nerve , so he and his Irish cob would lead them across. The inevitable happened , they drew too close and were separated by her family. Undaunted, they eloped and she was “ cut off without a penny”. ( 😬😬we’ve been poor ever since). Moving forward to 1967 when we were on holiday in Auckland. My 17 yr old sister Glenda, entered the competition and was dumbfounded by the version story as espoused by the Rose of Tralee society. They claimed that grandfather Michael came home from his exile in the Indian army just in time to see grandmother Mary’s funeral cortège pass the pub where he was having a homecoming drink. ( rather fanciful). Well , good story, but cast aspersions on grandma Brigitte’s “legitimacy“ dinnit? Well, our glorious aunty Evelyn was having none of it. She put on her “ going to town suit” and frogmarched Glenda to the society’s office. I wasn’t going to miss this so followed along. As our mother watched our procession head down the street , she’s said to have clutched the pearls and whispered, “ Oh dear! Eva’s got her Irish up”. At the office, I wasn’t allowed to join the meeting , but was sat outside with the receptioniste . The committee was a bit flustered by being pounced on and challenged by this duo of aggravated, raven haired, Irish women. They stuck to their guns and said that they preferred their own story of events. I heard aunty Eva’s raised voiced say, “ what rubbish, my mother was a Christian woman and never told a lie in her life”. Then she flounced out of the meeting, in high dudgeon ,with Glenda in tow. Well, that was the abrupt end of Glenda’s aspirations to celebrity . However after all these decades it’s good to hear that it still has the propensity to raise some ppl’s hackles. I’d say one wee thing in closing. Please stop inferring that there is a cringe element to this. I feel that you might just be pandering to the “ woke” & “ politically correct “ floating about out there. It smacks a little of insecurity and white guilt. The romantic side of white peoples’ culture is just as valid as anyone else’s. Especially that it has come to us, hand in hand with most of the world’s great advancements. Much love from Australia Kevin ❤❤

It appears to be a very large cultural bonding event. So many people have a role to make the week long event a success--then the continuation of the winning Rose to spend a year promoting whatever cause she has selected. It does not harm. It does reaffirm aspects of Irish culture that by modernizing occasionally help to continue to share with younger generations. The fact that there is even a lineage (Brenda) doubtful she is the only person. So the downside to this is what, exactly?

Earthlings have belonging needs along with their several others (oxygen, water, food, pets, comedy) that are every bit as important. It's up to the Irish women themselves what they want to do with the Rose of Tralee. But they could use a hipper band. Or if they stick with the Garda, hipper charts. Orchestras used to be the hippest thing around. Nice to hear that old Bruce Channel hit Hey!

I haven’t ever brought Alex and I don’t think he’d be interested.

So we have a lovely arrangement where I head off by myself and do my thing and sometimes we do stuff together (that we’re both interested in!) Normally it’s 32 Roses in the Rose of Tralee. I imagine the idea is that there are 32 counties of Ireland therefore 32 Roses, however not every county enters and places like Melbourne and New York etc enter instead. Pretty sure you have to have Irish ancestry to enter from those places. Lastly, you’re so welcome thank you so much for watching! 💚💚
