The Rose of Tralee Committee invites young girls beteen the ages of 5 to 12 years old to participate in the Rose of Tralee Pageant. 

(See rules on the application page). 

They dress up for the Big Ball and assist on stage carrying the basket of questions to the host who will then select a question for each of the Rose canidates. It is a wonderful experience and one that will bring the Rosebud back as a Rose Canidate in the future.
