The 10 best Twitter reactions to Waterford's Rose of Tralee win
Waterford Rose Kirsten Mate Maher was announced as the winner of the 2018 Rose of Tralee on Tuesday, August 21.
After 57 roses descended on Tralee for the Rose Tour, the judges narrowed it down to 32 for the television element, and on Tuesday night, it was narrowed down to one - our very own Waterford Rose.
Kirsten Mate Maher was stunned as her name was read aloud by host Dáithí Ó Sé and her fellow roses gathered to congratulate her. Twitter sprung into action with people expressing their delight at Kirsten's famous win.

Waterford winning the Rose of Tralee ... Limericks celebrations this week will be nothing on this. When’s the homecoming? Will John Mullane be on the horse. So many questions. #RoseOfTralee2018
