Rosaria is an early ripening variety from the breeding program of Stefan Kraege.
Stemming from the same cross-breeding as Séraphine, both varieties show similarities in ripening time, firmness and flavor.
Also, both varieties are ripening as early as Clery. The constant big fruits are light red, glossy and good in flavor. The high weight of the individual fruits with a high amount of class 1 fruits guarantee a very good picking performance.
The first fruits of Rosaria can show a longitudinal score. This is no problem in direct marketing but could become difficult in retail sector marketing. After the first harvest, the fruits are then very even and become interesting for retail sector marketing. Rosaria can remain on the bush for a long time without turning too dark.
Rosaria is a vigorous variety with long flower heads, because of which cultivation on high dams, channels or racks is strongly advised.
This variety is generally healthy. In individual cases, black root disease could be observed. This should be considered when planning to fertilize the flowers.
The combination of yield, flavor and health makes this variety especially interesting for direct marketing. Retail sector marketing is possible after the first harvest.
