A new product from Dutch breeders is the Rosaliza tomato. The hybrid was tested in the fields of the Russian Federation and entered into the State Register. Rosaliza F1 tomatoes are recommended to be grown in open ground. Due to the compactness of the bushes, productivity, and disease resistance, the hybrid can be grown for sale.
Description
Tomato Rosaliza F1 is a mid-season, determinant-type hybrid. They are grown only by seedlings. Fruit harvesting begins after 110–120 days. Description of the bush:
- compact;
- the number of leaves is average;
- height 65–75 cm, in fertile soil with the use of mineral fertilizers - 1 m;
- requires support, garters and adjustment of the number of stepsons.
Productivity 17 kg/sq. m with a recommended planting pattern of 6 bushes per square meter. More dense planting will lead to a decrease in illumination of the aboveground part of the bushes, reducing the feeding area.
Fruit
Classic round fruits of pink color, slight ribbing may be observed. The skin is durable and not prone to cracking. The fruit size is average, weight 180–200 g. The pulp is dense, the taste depends on the quality of the soil. On light, fertile soils with good lighting, tomatoes grow with a sweeter and richer taste.
The fruits are used for various purposes:
- salt;
- marinate;
- prepare sauces for the winter and as an additive to meat dishes;
- used in slicing for sandwiches and snacks;
- included in summer vegetable salads.
Diseases and pests
Rosaliza has good immunity, like all Dutch hybrids. Summer residents do not have to worry about dangerous tomato diseases: fusarium, verticillium wilt, and viral curl. You can protect bushes from other fungal diseases using standard preventive measures:
- treating seeds before sowing with a fungicide or manganese solution;
- using healthy soil for growing seedlings;
- use of complex fertilizers at all stages of growth;
- when the weather worsens, support the immune system with leaf treatments using folk remedies (whey, boric acid, iodine) or proven store-bought drugs (HB-1, Epin).

On the forums about the Rosaliza tomato
Natasha, Karaganda: “I plant Dutch hybrids for harvesting, they give a guaranteed harvest even in seasons with extremely bad weather. I planted 15 Rosaliza bushes without pampering them with care. I didn’t feel any particular excitement about this new product. The yield was no higher than that of varietal tomatoes. There was late blight on the bushes, and there was also blossom end rot. I didn’t like the taste, and the color was dirty pink too. The average fruit weight is about 120–150 g, the height of the bushes is about 1 meter. In appearance, these are classic round-shaped store-bought tomatoes with thick skin and no aroma.”
Olesya, Crimea: “Last season I planted several bushes of the Dutch tomato Rosaliza for testing. I couldn’t find any reviews about the hybrid, so I decided to try it myself. The bushes are compact and low. The fruits are smooth and beautiful. The yield is not bad. Seed germination 9 out of 10.”
Conclusion
It is worth planting the pink-fruited Dutch hybrid Rosaliza in your garden. In any weather you will have a harvest. Rosalisa is a good choice for market traders and those who like to pickle and pickle tomatoes.
