Rose Season Kicks Off with Rose Sunday

TYLER — Rose Season is finally here. KETK reports the annual Rose Sunday was held in Tyler Sunday to celebrate. The ceremony announces the commencement of the official rose season. As part of the event, the Texas Rose Festival Scholarship was awarded to an East Texas student. Among those who helped put on the ceremony: Tyler’s very own Rose Queen. Emily Kaye Evans commented, “It feels really good. I’m honored to be able to do this and be a part of such a big part of the city’s economy and everything that kind of keeps the city going.” It all leads up to the annual Rose Festival in October.
