Tracking the Roses

Roisin Hunt - San Francisco Rose 2010

There's more to the Festival than the last week in August in Tralee. A lot more. The Westmeath Independent brings us up to date with events all over the Midlands.

There are two reasons for the Midlands to celebrate the Roses - they have two Knockcroghery Roses - Aine Shine, Liverpool Rose and Roisin Hunt, San Francisco Rose.

Briefly, the itinerary takes the Roses from Ballina through Birr, Banagher, Dublin Clare and Limerick. To read the full itinerary please read the Westmeath Independent.
