THE Rose Tour of Kerry which started on Wednesday came to an end on Friday morning with a visits to Listowel taking in the Lartique Monorail, The Greenway, and Listowel Arms Hotel.

It’s been a busy week for the contestants taking in the sights at the Kerry Cliffs, Blasket Centre, Carrolls Cove, Sneem Village and Sneem Hotel all in association with Kerry County Council.

The Roses are based in The Meadowlands Hotel and on Friday morning there was an official welcome for them at the hotel where they met their Rose Buds for the first time.

They held a party in the function room there and there was great excitement among the ‘buds’, Roses and the escorts who danced the afternoon away. Scroll down for photos…
