Kentucky Roses Announcement (0:19) What is 'Kentucky Roses' on Hallmark about?
Kentucky Roses unfolds across two timelines—present day and 1932—at Churchill Downs. In present day, Sadie Moore (Annable) works in the Churchill Downs greenhouse—dreaming of becoming a florist and one day contributing to the Derby’s garland of roses—just like her great-grandmother, Gloria (Ally Ledford) did.
As Derby Day approaches, Sadie meets Ash Taylor (Walker), the son of Churchill Downs’ CEO (Gregg Henry), who’s been asked to do an emergency repair on the iconic Twin Spires after a storm left one damaged. Both Sadie and Ash feel the weight of family legacy and the desire to carve out their own paths.
Sparks fly—but their budding romance is complicated by a long-buried connection between their families—a bittersweet love story from the past that threatens to repeat itself. As the film goes between the modern hustle of race preparations and life in the 1930s, Sadie uncovers a bittersweet love story that threatens to repeat itself. Sadie and Ash must decide if they can break their family's cycle of heartbreak—or if history is destined to deny them their own winner’s circle moment.
