Overview
Bella Rosa is a determinate hybrid developed jointly by the University of Florida and Sakata Seed America (2005), bred for the heat and disease pressure of the Southeast and recognized as an All-America Selections winner. Compact plants bear large, uniform, round, firm red fruit with thick walls and a small seed cavity, and the flavor is fuller and more acidic than many mild hybrids. Resistance covers tomato spotted wilt virus, gray leaf spot, Alternaria stem canker, Fusarium wilt races 1 and 2 and Verticillium wilt race 1. The crop ripens in a concentrated flush around 69 to 80 days, handy for preserving.
