Description

Bella Rosa Tomato is a determinate, hybrid variety with excellent disease resistance for hot and humid climates. This is the perfect variety for areas where growing heirlooms can be quite difficult. Bella Rosa Tomato is resistant to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus. It will perform better in heat than most varieties and will continue to set fruit once temperatures warm in early summer. Fruits are large, round and firm with exceptional flavor. In our trials, Bella Rosa produced flavor that was consistent with heirloom varieties. For best results, prune bottom stems at transplanting to provide additional airflow to plants. Seeds are pelleted for ease of planting in seed trays.

 

Growing Information

Tomatoes are in the nightshade family along with peppers and eggplant. Plants in the nightshade family are susceptible to blossom end rot, which is a result of a calcium deficiency. To prevent or alleviate this problem, apply pelleted gypsum at the base of the plant at bloom set. Tomatoes do best when transplanted, as the germination time can be longer than most vegetable seed. They grow very well in our heavy-duty seed starting trays. Plants should be started 4-6 weeks before the intended outdoor planting date. If conditions outside are favorable, transplants may be planted directly from our 162 cell trays. If conditions are still too cold for planting tomatoes, transplants may be "stepped-up" to 4" pots to allow more room to grow. Tomatoes can produce heavy fruits and will require some form of support to keep the plant upright. We recommend using the Florida Weave trellising technique that involves using stakes and twine along the row. This ensures that plants and fruits stay off the ground, reducing the possibility of disease and keeping fruits clean.

Taking these country boys to school

I love this Tomato so much. I had every country boy around here in awe with this magnificent 🍅! I couldn't believe the size of these maters. They didn't only look good but they taste wonderful as well. I let them be jealous for the first two summers but last year I spilled the beans and told them where to get this beauty. Plan on a strong trellis because this mater is the real deal. Thanks Greg
I'm ready for a nice tomato sandwich. Its been a long winter.

100% germination

Last year Bella Rosa was one of my best tasting tomatoes. Happy to say this year I have 100% percent germination on Bella Rosa started under my grow light. I purchased seeds from Hoss and they are pelleted.
You will not be disappointed with this Tomatoe.

Big, beautiful fruit

Bella Rosa set consistently large, round fruit (even in the heat) on a manageable-sized plant. The flavor is incredible. Perfect for a tomato sandwich and also added great flavor to my tomato sauce. My only con is that it set so many large tomatoes in a cluster (what a problem to have!!) that the branches were breaking as the fruits in the cluster grew heavier.. I solved that by wrapping the splits with electrical tape and using stronger ties. I will definitely plant these again and may just let the branches bend to the ground as the fruits grow bigger..
