Rosé N’ Roses makes debut at Republic Weekend today

Rosé N’ Roses will make its Jamaican debut at Plantation Cove in Ocho Rios today, as part of Appleton Estate Republic Weekend 2026.

Launched in Atlanta in 2021, the brunch brand has staged events in Orlando, Houston, Miami, Tampa and Brooklyn. Jamaica will be its first Caribbean stop, according to Easy Rich of the Rosé N’ Roses team.

“Since launching in 2021, Rosé N’ Roses has grown into a recognised upscale experience across the US. Jamaica has always been a market we wanted to enter because of its vibrant culture, energy, and love for great entertainment. Partnering with Republic Weekend gives us the perfect opportunity to introduce our brand to the island,” he said.

The event will follow the theme, ‘Think Pink’, with patrons encouraged to wear shades ranging from soft blush and rose to fuchsia and hot pink.

The afternoon will feature brunch, rosé, music and the brand’s signature Rosé Garden. DJ Royal Bri, ZJ Romzii, Lady Drea, Tonio and Fyahman are scheduled to provide the music.

“Expect an unforgettable blend of luxury, entertainment, and Caribbean culture. From our brunch-inclusive experience and refreshing rosé to great music, beautiful décor, and our signature Rosé Garden atmosphere, every detail is designed to create an elevated experience,” Easy Rich said.

Rosé N’ Roses will offer a different atmosphere from other events on the Republic Weekend schedule. Following Friday night’s Campari Fanatic Ochi, Saturday afternoon will focus on brunch and fashion before Night Carnival: Sugar Waist brings Carnival celebrations back to Plantation Cove later that evening.

Republic Weekend features five entertainment events across four days.

Easy Rich said the team hopes to establish Rosé N’ Roses as a recurring event in Jamaica while expanding the brand internationally.

“Jamaica isn’t just a one-time destination for us. Our goal is to establish Rosé N’ Roses as a premier recurring experience on the island while continuing to grow the brand internationally,” he said.

“We want every patron to leave feeling they experienced something truly special and already looking forward to the next one,” he added.
