I've grown Rose (and I see that Seed Savers has it this year). It might be
my favorite tomato. It tastes (in trials) as good as Brandywine. I can't
grow a good Brandywine here, but Rose does well; it's dark pink, meaty,
and I think a little smaller than Brandywine but still a big tomato. I
have trouble with cracking (too much rain), but Rose doesn't crack as much
as some other heirlooms, and doesn't have green shoulders. It makes a
huge, sturdy bush with a stem like a tree trunk. It ripens well if picked
a little early and holds well; I don't know how well it travels, though.
