The Bachelor runner-up Daisy Kent has suggested that there will be no more roses in her future.

After Daisy finished as the runner-up on Joey Graziadei's The Bachelor season, she expressed how she's "not ready" to date again, inherently turning down a possible starring role on The Bachelorette's upcoming 21st season.

The Bachelorette gig ultimately went to Jenn Tran, but viewers have been wondering if Daisy, after having more time to heal and focus on herself, would be open to looking for love in Mexico on Bachelor in Paradise.
Daisy, however, is leading fans to believe that she won't be appearing on another Bachelor spinoff.

"No more roses, just daises," Daisy captioned a photo of herself with The Bachelor host Jesse Palmer during the After the Final Rose special, which aired on March 25 on ABC.
Daisy's "no more roses" mention was part of a lengthy post in which Daisy was reflecting on her The Bachelor journey and what's to come for her in the near future.
"You see the thing about life is you can never be certain what's coming. How unexpected this whole journey was, but how beautiful it is to look back on," Daisy wrote Thursday, March 28 on Instagram.
"I'll forever be grateful for the people I met, the places, and the moments that changed my perspective. I believe life is about how we love people, how we embrace our differences, how we can take what we were given and turn it into light."
Daisy insisted that she's "regained my confidence" and "found my light again" after having a cochlear implant in 2023 and then getting her heart broken by Joey while filming The Bachelor in Fall 2023.

"We are complex beings meaning we are not one thing, one emotion, one simple feeling. Often we are consumed by one emotion, but I think the difficulty lies when we're consumed by not one but many," Daisy continued in her post.
"I've learned you have to feel it all to allow more love in sometimes. Thank you to everyone who has supported me during this journey. The friendships made & the people I met will always make me look back and smile."

Daisy went on to thank The Bachelor franchise for giving her "the time of my life" and "helping share my story in such a beautiful way."
The Minnesota native and blonde beauty concluded, "To more of the unexpected. No more roses, just daises."

Daisy is also prepared to give away her red finale dress to a fan, letting go of a big reminder or memento of her final days on The Bachelor.
On The Bachelor's Season 28 finale, Daisy and Kelsey Anderson were Joey's Final 2 bachelorettes in Tulum, Mexico.
After both women met Joey's family and had a final date with him, Daisy predicted that she wasn't going to end up with Joey.
Daisy therefore sought out Kelsey in her hotel room to essentially compare notes about their week. On typical seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, the Final 2 men or women are not allowed to see each other or talk.
Daisy admitted to Kelsey that something felt "off" and seemed to be "missing" with Joey during their last date, and so she arguably spoiled the fact that Kelsey was going to be Joey's winner.

The two women then traveled to the Final Rose Ceremony in the same van, which was another first for The Bachelor franchise, and then Daisy gracefully bowed out of the competition before Joey could officially dump her.
"Falling in love with you has been so fun and I do love you," Daisy told The Bachelor star at the Final Rose Ceremony. "But the thing is, you're not going to choose me."
Joey immediately broke down into tears, confirming that Daisy's gut instinct was correct.
Daisy told Joey that she realized he wasn't her "person," and she added, "I know that you know I'm not your person. And as much as that hurts, umm, I know you said you want what's best for me, and so I'm going to do what's best for me -- and I'm going to go."
Joey called Daisy "special" and offered to walk her out, but Daisy decided to do that on her own.
"I'll walk you out," Joey said.
"I'm going to miss you," Joey cried.
"I'm going to miss you too," Daisy responded in tears. "I'm pulling for you!"
Daisy then returned to the van, hugged Kelsey, and wished Joey's winner the best.
Joey proceeded to reunite with Kelsey and profess his love to her, and the pair got engaged in Tulum.

When Daisy announced on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose that she's "not ready" to find her person just yet, she explained, "My life the last year has been crazy. I mean, yesterday, it's weird, but it was the one year of me getting my cochlear implant, which completely changed my life."

"And I also went through this, and as great of an experience as it was, it was also really, really hard. I'm healthy and I'm happy, and I haven't had those two things in a really long time," Daisy acknowledged.
"And so, right now, I know it's a time for me to focus on the things I love and the people I love. So, right now, no. I'm not ready, and that's okay. I'm really proud of myself for realizing that."
