I decided to give it another shot this season using her same seeds.<\/p>\n<p>I grew the plant outdoors in open ground. It reached a little over 3 feet (1 m) tall. The tomatoes are absolutely beautiful &#8211; mostly round with a slight heart shape and gentle ribbing that makes them look almost like a flower. The color is a deep, dark cherry-purple. The flesh is dense and very sweet. It&#8217;s not a heavy yielder, with fruits weighing about 5.5 to 7 oz (150-200 g). I plan on trying it in the greenhouse next year to see how it does.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/144\/13683-050916024938.jpeg\" alt=\"Spanish Rose dark cherry purple tomatoes on a table\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">O<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Olya Pskovishna (Olga) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (14,072 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Pskov (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Spanish Rose.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/irKEnH2VwktrE.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4645\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/irKEnH2VwktrE-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/irKEnH2VwktrE-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/irKEnH2VwktrE-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/irKEnH2VwktrE-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/irKEnH2VwktrE-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/irKEnH2VwktrE.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/irrofvTo6vrr4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4646\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/irrofvTo6vrr4-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/irrofvTo6vrr4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/irrofvTo6vrr4-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/irrofvTo6vrr4-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/irrofvTo6vrr4-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/irrofvTo6vrr4.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A really solid variety if you are into dark tomatoes.<\/p>\n<p>At first glance, I thought it was an exact twin to <em>Korallovyi<\/em> (Coral).
