Due to covid restrictions, the only way it was possible to view any of Roses Unlocked as a spectator was through YSTV and LA1's joint coverage. People could either watch at home on Roses Live or at one of the outdoor bars in Lancaster or York. The options at York were the outdoor area added to Glasshouse on East Campus, the Forest (a temporary outdoor bar open only in 2020/21 on Vanbrugh Bowl) or the Lakeside Tap (another temporary bar opened on Gregg's Place opened for Spring and Summer Terms of 2021). | Due to covid restrictions, the only way it was possible to view any of Roses Unlocked as a spectator was through YSTV and LA1's joint coverage.

YSTV's coverage of Roses Unlocked was led primarily by second years, due to a mass exodus of third years from YSTV as a result of Covid-19. | |||

Roses Unlocked went down for many who worked on it as one of the most defining moments of their university experience. Many crew members learnt an awful lot in a short space of time as well as being traumatised by the chaotic and explosive events of the weekend. That said, even in spite of all of the problems and fire fighting that went on, Roses Unlocked was regarded by most as a success. The perseverance, resolve and determination of all involved could not have been greater. We pulled together as a team when it mattered the most and provided a way for Roses to happen in a year when otherwise it could not have done. | |||
YSTV's instrumental role in Roses Unlocked was appreciated by YUSU and the University was awarded through YSTV winning Student Group of the Year and Best Event at the Love York Awards 2021, as well as winning Best Event Coverage at the Student Media Awards. [[Joe Radford]] was also awarded Highly Commended for Sport Journalist of the Year at the Colours Ball for their work on Roses Unlocked. | |||
Additionally [[Rhys Milling]] won an award recognising his work over Roses Unlocked at the Closing Ceremony (which he promptly dropped under table as it was delivered to him). | |||
Roses Unlocked, whilst being a trial by fire, set the stage for [[Roses 2022]] in Lancaster. Due to most of the members of the Roses Unlocked Management Team were second years, almost the exact same team ran the coverage for the following year - which was hailed as YSTV's best Roses coverage in recent years, if not ever. | |||
