Poll: Will you watch the Rose of Tralee tonight?

It’s that time of year again.

THE WINNER OF the Rose of Tralee festival will be crowned tonight, with a total of 32 International Roses vying for the title.

The festival, which was first held in 1959, sees women from all counties – as well as some far-flung places – battle it out to be crowned the next Rose.

From Monaghan to Melbourne, 18 Roses took to the Co Kerry stage last night while the remaining 14 will appear this evening.

So today we’re asking: Will you watch the Rose of Tralee tonight?
