Onion Rosanna Heat Prepared Approx. 65 75 Sets

A Modern Onion with French Heritage UK-bred variety with ‘Rose de Roscoff’ in its parentage Rounded, pink-blushed bulbs with attractive internal colour Sweet, mild flavour with a fruity character Heat prepared to reduce the risk of bolting A distinctive alternative to traditional yellow and red onions ‘Rosanna’ is a British-bred onion with an interesting French connection, having the celebrated ‘Rose de Roscoff’ among its parents. That heritage has helped give it its characteristic sweetness and pink colouring, resulting in an onion that sits apart from the familiar yellow and deep-red varieties grown in most vegetable plots. The rounded, globe-shaped bulbs develop an attractive reddish-pink blush, with rosy rings running through the crisp flesh. Its mild, fruity flavour makes it particularly enjoyable fresh, so it’s a good choice if you like growing onions for salads and sandwiches as well as for cooking. The sets have been heat prepared for 20 weeks before planting, helping to reduce the risk of bolting. They’re particularly useful if you’ve struggled with onions running to flower in the past, or garden where spring temperatures can be changeable. With less chance of premature flower stems developing, the plants can concentrate more of their energy on producing good-sized onions.
