Welcome to the Roscommon Rose Centre!

We are part of the Rose of Tralee International Festival and hold our annual Roscommon Rose Selection Night to find our next Roscommon Rose.

The search for the 2012 Roscommon Rose will take place for the third year running in the splendour of Kilronan Castle in picturesque Ballyfarnon, Co. Roscommon on Easter Saturday 7th April 2012.

Our current Roscommon Rose 2011 is Roisin Guihen - who made it all the way to the International Festival in Tralee last August and did Roscommon extremely proud!

Our 2011 Roscommon Escort is Shane Lannon, he also participated in Tralee last year and was partnered with the Derby Rose Niamh McTeigue.

Roscommon has had great success in Tralee over the last few years.
We have had 2 roses representing the county at the televised final in 2008 (Caitriona O Connor) and last year - 2011. Our escort in 2010 Donal Gill was International Rose of Tralee Clare Kambamettu's escort and spent the year at various functions with the Rose. We hope to emulate these recent successes in 2012!

Taking part in the Roscommon Rose Selection is a fantastic experience for those who wish to represent their county at the Regional Finals in Portlaoise and hopefully on to the televised final in August. Its a great opportunity to make new friends for life and become part of the extended Rose Family. The Roscommon Centre make it our priority that when you enter the Roscommon Rose Selection, you will have a fantastic day and night - just ask any of our past Roses!
