With the Rose of Tralee International Festival fast approaching, punters have locked in their wagers.
As of Thursday, Dublin Rose Suad Mooge sits at the top of the betting grid as the 7/2 favorite, according to Oddschecker.
She's followed closely by New York Rose Ciara McGinty, who sits at 4/1, and London Rose Ciara Fallon, who is the 5/1 favorite.
Rounding out the top five favorite Roses are Kerry Rose Caoimhe Lynch (7/1) and Wicklow Rose Carolann McDonald (8/1).
Thursday's odds from Oddschecker are a shakeup from Tuesday, when New Yorker Ciara McGinty was the favorite at 4/1, with the London (5/1), Kerry (7/1), Wicklow (8/1), and Dublin Roses (10/1) behind her.
On Thursday, Oddschecker spokesman Chris Rogers stated: "Support has gathered quickly behind Dublin's Suad Mooge, making her the 7/2 favourite to take this year's Rose of Tralee title.
"While international contenders like New York's Ciara McGinty (4/1) and London's Ciara Fallon (5/1) continue to draw steady backing, capital momentum has pushed Dublin to the summit of the betting grid, with Kerry's Caoimhe Lynch and Wicklow's Carolann McDonald rounding out the top five."
The 2026 Rose of Tralee International Festival gets underway on August 14, with this year's Rose to be crowned on August 18 following two selection nights hosted by presenter Dáithí Ó Sé and Kathryn Thomas.
While the Rose contest is the highlight, the annual festival also boasts parades, live music, family fun, and a celebration of Irish heritage and sport.
Should Mooge win this year's title, it will be the first time that a Dublin Rose has won since Orla Tobin did in 2003.
Last year, Katelyn Cummins came out on top, marking the first time a Laois Rose won the title.
Dublin and New York have won the most Rose of Tralee titles, each having won five times.
