ROSE
Autumn Rose is an attractive, early maturing red-skinned, white-
fleshed variety. This new—and highly anticipated—variety originates
out of a breeding program in the Netherlands, and is a great addition
to the Norland market. Compared to Norland, Autumn Rose has
shallow eyes and slightly higher starch content, with excellent taste
and texture.
Seed stock of Autumn Rose is being increased in the U.S. and Canada
through Solanum International, Inc. Learn more at
