Quick Summary of Rozovyi Blyuser (Pink Bluser)
- 🌍 Origin: A commercial Russian/Eastern European variety known for producing exceptionally large, brightly colored fruits.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Mid-early indeterminate. It grows to about 1.5 meters (5 ft) tall. Growers note that it is highly productive and has excellent disease resistance. Notably, it maintains its massive fruit size all the way up the vine without the upper trusses getting smaller.
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Flat-round (oblate) beefsteaks of a very bright, striking, and unusual pink color. They are absolute giants, with weights officially listed at 800g up to 1 kg (1.7 to 2.2 lbs).
- 👅 Flavor Debate (Climate Dependent): This variety perfectly illustrates how climate affects taste. A grower in a cooler, northern region (USDA Zone 3) found the flavor to be completely bland and “empty.” However, a grower in a milder climate (USDA Zone 5) reported that the fruits were incredibly meaty with a very rich, saturated flavor. If you live in a hot, sunny area, this tomato has the potential to be a star!
Official Description:
Mid-early indeterminate variety, height 1.5 m (5 ft), fruit weight 800g – 1 kg (1.7 – 2.2 lbs). The fruits are flat-round, pink, with a rich flavor, juicy, sweet, and have a small amount of seeds. Resistant to diseases. Excellent for salads and slicing.
My actual experience with the taste:
1st tasting — rather bland; 2nd tasting — an empty flavor. I didn’t even bother saving seeds from it. However, the variety is indeed highly productive and resistant to diseases. The fruits are huge and have a very unusual pink color; they stood out from other pink-fruited varieties because of their extreme brightness.

Is it really not good for making juice? 😲 They are large and juicy after all.
It will work for juice, of course. But juice made from TASTY tomatoes turns out much more delicious anyway 😉
It’s a beautiful tomato, maybe if grown here in the South it would have turned out tasty.
It grew both outdoors in open ground and in the greenhouse—everywhere it was equally large, meaty, and had a rich flavor. The tomatoes are all identical in weight, they don’t get smaller towards the top of the plant.
