THE Rose Hotel welcomed returning Roses and Rose Escorts on Sunday, August 16, for the annual Dott Moriarty Rose & Rose Escort Reunion Night, hosted by the Henggeler family.

The event has become a much-loved occasion for Roses and Rose Escorts to reconnect, renew friendships and reminisce about their own Festival experiences.

This year’s reunion was the largest to date, with 250 guests attending. Among those present were former Roses of Tralee, along with three special reunion groups marking 30, 20 and 10 years since their Festival years in 1996, 2006 and 2016.

Adding to the celebrations, 2025 Rose of Tralee Katelyn Cummins took time from her busy Festival schedule to join the gathering and meet returning Roses and Rose Escorts.
