The Rose Ladies Open is a women's professional golf tournament on the LET Access Series, held in Hertfordshire, England.
The 54-hole stroke play tournament is hosted at The Melbourne Club at Brocket Hall, and was announced in July 2022 as a late addition to the LETAS schedule. At €65,000, it featured the largest prize fund of the season outside of the LETAS Grand Finale. It is the first LETAS event in England since the WPGA International Challenge which ran between 2013 and 2019 at Stoke-by-Nayland, and succeeds the inaugural English tournament on the LET Access Series, played at Hazlemere Golf Club in south Buckinghamshire in 2011.

The tournament is supported by former world number one golfer Justin Rose, who together with wife Kate also launched the Rose Ladies Series in 2020. [2]
English player Henni Zuël won the LETAS Ladies Open with a par on the first extra hole in a playoff with Ashleigh Simon, and My Leander of Sweden won the inaugural Rose Ladies Open, three strokes ahead of Noemí Jiménez Martín of Spain. [3] [4]

The Ladies European Tour is a professional golf tour for women which was founded in 1978. It is based at Buckinghamshire Golf Club near London in England. Like many UK-based sports organisations it is a company limited by guarantee, a legal structure which enables it to focus on maximising returns to its members through prize money, rather than on making profits for investors. The tour is run by a Board of Directors and a Players' Council. Most of the players on the tour are European, with members from more than 40 countries internationally. The tour operates tournaments across five continents.
