About this episode
The episode discusses the Hallmark movie 'Kentucky Roses', which features a romance set against the backdrop of the Kentucky Derby.
Hold onto your hats, because Kentucky Roses is bringing major Hallmark charm straight from the heart of the Churchill Downs and into our living rooms. Premiering just in time for the Kentucky Derby buzz, this new Hallmark original stars Andrew Walker in a story that feels equal parts sweeping romance and behind-the-scenes Derby magic. Kentucky Roses follows a chance pairing between a greenhouse worker and the son of Churchill Downs’ CEO, as they race to preserve the Kentucky tradition - while uncovering a generational love story that might just steal the spotlight. If you’re here for Derby glamour, heartfelt storytelling, and a little bit of that signature Hallmark sparkle, this one is already off to the races.
