I find the Rose to be an excellent producer of extremely tasty (medium acidic) blemish free, marketable fruits. This variety outproduces all other varieties when it comes to marketability, except Dr. Wyche's Yellow and Thessaloniki, which perform just as well. All heirlooms are subject to blight. The key is to start preventive spraying as soon as your plants go in the ground. I alternate two organic anti-fungals and spray at least once a week, including a first spraying as soon as the transplants go in the ground. If you start spraying when you see blight, it's too late.

Oakland, Michigan, United States
Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days
Soil Texture: Clay
Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20')
Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day

This tomato is really nice, pink, prolific, and tasty. The problem is it was very early to get the tomato blight (black spot), which killed them off first among all my tomato varieties. I think that if it were planted far apart and had tons of sun it would not be an issue.

Missouri, United States
Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days

Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40')
Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day

Also known by Rosa de Berne in Europe. Very flavorful variety. It's flavor can be lacking if over watered or in rainy cool seasons. Worth a try again if grown first in a poor season.
