It was a super night in Longford Arms Hotel on Saturday as Edgeworthstown's lovely Sara-Lee Greene was crowned the 2025 Longford Rose winner.
Sara-Lee is the very first Rose of the 2025 International Rose of Tralee Festival and she was congratulated on her triumph by 2023 Longford Rose Grace Kemple and Rose of Tralee Keely O’Grady.
Despite the damage caused by Storm Éowyn which ripped through county Longford in the early hours of Friday morning, there was a fine, enthusiastic attendance at Saturday's hugely entertaining Rose Selection in the Longford Arms Hotel.
The newly crowned 2025 Longford Rose Sara-Lee Greene was interviewed on stage by Galway Bay FM’s Ollie Turner and she will become Longford’s seventh Rose to feature in the Rose of Tralee International Festival televised ‘live’ interviews.
