Divorcees? edit
I have noted that some of the queens listed have since divorced and returned to their maiden names. Should their former married names be removed, or kept for the purposes of identification? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.190.111.191 (talk) 23:48, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
Rose Queen List edit
Who thinks that we should add a list of rose queens? Or at least some? Tell me what you think. Binglebongle2000 04:05, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- The enthusiasm is appreciated, but I have to agree with Dirtydan667 in the Tyler talk page discussion. I don't think it would add much to the article or to Wikipedia - the Rose Festival is pretty self-contained, so it'd be a long list without any wikilinks to other articles. IMHO, anyone who really needs to find that info would be much better served by calling or going to the Tyler Rose Museum, which has all manner of photos/memorabilia/costumes/etc. Just a list of names won't give much help to someone doing a report.
- There's also the matter of confirming the accuracy of all of that info; as an example, your sample entry for the 2005 festival on the Tyler talk page lists both the theme and the queen's name incorrectly. The Texas Rose Festival Association is probably the only party that could even devise an official, accurate list - you might call its office and suggest they put one on the official site.
- As for the "some" proposition - that's an invitation for friends, relatives, queens, etc. to add queens they feel have been "slighted." I fear it would be "all-or-nothing" on this, and feel that "all" wouldn't be worthwhile. - Hedgey42 13:45, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
I am a relative of a queen!!! Does THAT count? And I think that we should put up a couple queens as an example of THEMES, as I was trying to do in the Tyler article.Binglebongle2000 (talk) 20:37, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Merge? edit
Who else thinks that this article should be merged with the "Tyler, Texas" article?

URL edit
On some search engines, entering "texas rose festival" returns search results that shows a link at the very top to this wiki page. It reads:
Texas Rose Festival
texasrosefestival.com
The problem is that this is no longer a good address for the Rose Festival website, which is now texasrosefestival.org (ends in .org now).
Is there anyway that this can be fixed? Thanks in advance.
