Tomato 'Rosella' Organic
Tomato ‘Rosella’ is a standout cherry tomato celebrated for its rich, complex flavour and striking dusky rose-brown fruit with subtle green shoulders. Each bite offers a beautifully balanced sweetness with a gentle tang and a deep, berry-like finish that elevates it well beyond a standard cherry tomato.
A vigorous and highly productive variety, it performs reliably in both garden beds and large containers, producing generous trusses of thin-skinned fruit over a long harvest window. Perfect for fresh eating straight from the vine, salads, and grazing platters, Rosella is as productive as it is delicious. It was also a runner-up in our taste test this year, reinforcing its reputation as one of the most flavourful cherry tomatoes for the home garden.
Sow seed 6-8 weeks before you want to plant out your tomatoes. Never plant tomatoes in the same bed two years running as you risk infection from a build up of pests and diseases. Tomatoes need an open, sunny position, with plenty of air circulation to thrive. Tomatoes are best in a bed which has been heavily manured for a previous crop such as broccoli. A soil that is too rich in nutrients will produce prolific, but soft, sappy growth which is prone to disease. Long, leggy toato seedlings can be planted very deeply or even on their sides, as the stem is able to grow roots when covered with soil, and a large, healthy root system will develop.
