WIND ROSE

Tomato Wind Rose — an early-maturing determinate variety developed by Russian breeders, intended for cultivation in open ground and greenhouses, including in northern regions. Plants are bushy, compact, 30–45 cm tall, with strong, well-leafed seedlings. Leaves are medium-sized, dark green, with wavy edges and a slight downy covering. The first flower cluster forms above the 6th–7th leaf, subsequent clusters form every 1–2 leaves, ensuring a prolonged fruiting period from early July to mid-September.

Tomato Wind Rose fruits are round or flat-round in shape, with bright pink or dark pink coloration. The weight of each tomato varies from 100–120 g to 200–300 g depending on growing conditions. The skin is smooth, thin, and does not crack, while the flesh is juicy, meaty, and nearly seedless, making the fruits especially valuable for fresh consumption. Each cluster bears 4–6 fruits that ripen simultaneously, although ripening within the cluster may be uneven, allowing for harvesting in underripe form for further ripening at room temperature.

The variety exhibits high resistance to variable weather conditions, including intense sun, prolonged cold rains, and brief temperature drops to just above zero. Additionally, Tomato Wind Rose shows resistance to phytophthora and other diseases, simplifying care and increasing yield. With proper agronomy, 6–7 kg of marketable fruits can be harvested per square meter, which are well-suited for storage and long-distance transport. These tomatoes are versatile: they are suitable for fresh consumption, as well as for juice production, pickling, and canning.
