The Rose - A Judge's Perpespective

Jane Daly was a judge for the 2010 Ottawa Rose of Tralee. Her initial reaction was, to say the least, hesitant.

She has written a great article on her experiences during the event. It is a full and frank critique of the Rose Festival and is really worth reading. It would be fantastic if her post could be reproduced in print!

I will leave you with her final words. "And our 2010 Rose of Tralee, Laura Hay, has every quality one could want in a Rose. She will make Ottawa proud as she prepares to travel to Ireland. But I have no doubt that each and every young woman we met this weekend will go on to bigger and better things. They will settle for nothing less than the best that they can do and can give, as they make the sky their limit. I am truly honoured and grateful to have met them all. Now this is a pageant I look forward to telling my daughters about. Bravo ladies and Sláinte!".
