The main method for planting plants is the seedling method. To begin preparatory work, it is preferable to choose the beginning of spring. Seed material should be planted to a depth of 1–2 centimeters. Separate peat pots or simple plastic cups are suitable as containers. To simplify the work, you should purchase universal soil for nightshade crops at the store. After sowing, the seedlings are covered with film. In the room with plants, the temperature should be from plus 20 degrees. Sprouted seedlings require a long photoperiod, watering with water at room temperature and loosening the soil. A week before the expected day of planting, the seedlings must be hardened off.

Gardeners' opinion
Good day! I have long been looking for an unpretentious variety of tomatoes with an unusual fruit shape. Last summer I met the Crimean Rose tomato. The seedlings and productivity of the plant were pleasing. We managed to collect almost a kilogram of tomatoes from one tomato bush. Each fruit weighs 100–150 grams and has an original pear shape.The variety loves feeding and responds positively to abundant watering. I didn’t find any disadvantages of the plant for myself. I recommend!
