While all eyes will be on next week's live TV shows, for the first time RTÉ Entertainment is giving you a chance to get to know the Roses a little bit better before the festival kicks off.
We chatted to all 65 Roses and between now and their television debut on Monday and Tuesday night, you will be able to click on each individual Rose to learn more about them through a short 30 second video clip.
From criminolgists, to Clown School graduates (no really!), professional dancers to weather presenters and even Massey Ferguson enthusiasts - this year's bunch of Roses cover a broad spectrum of interests and talent.
