Tomato : Rosada F1 Hybrid
Vegetable
- Cropping: 95 days
- Ideal for: Children
Description
Indeterminate. Rosada has slightly larger fruit than the popular 'Santa' with a more pronounced calyx and a slightly thinner skin with much better resistance to fruit splitting. Exceptional flavour with high sugar and high acids to give that real tomato taste. Best for greenhouse, but will grow in a sunny spot outdoors. Abundant crops throughout the summer.

Sow seeds in pots or trays of good, free draining, damp seed compost and cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place containers in a propagator, or seal in a polythene bag, at a temperature of 18-21C (65-70F) until after germination, which takes 7-10 days.
Growing Instructions
Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant in the greenhouse in individual large pots, or 3 plants per growbag when 20cm (8in) high. Can be planted outdoors, 45cm (18in) apart once all frost risk has passed
Aftercare Instructions
Plants require sideshooting and support for the best yields. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.
Kitchen Notes
Deliciously sweet, bite sized fruits straight from the plant.
