JustSeed - JustSeed - Tomato - Rosada F1-25 Seeds

Brought them for a friend who doesn't do internet shopping and wasn't available in his usual seed catalogues. So will surprise him in spring with plants.

They do look like tomato seeds - only time will tell.

I have no idea whether these are Rosada tomato seed. I do know they are tomato seed, but I won't be growing until next season (2020), although I will try to grow one plant to one truss (mid-June) to get some idea and will report back. It would have been reassuring if they had been labelled, but they came in a packet with no info other than a picture, from Shanghai. Now, they could be Rosada, because like a lot of F1 seed Rosada is produced in the Far East, and apparently the producers of the seed were unwilling to pay the cost of fulfilling EU Common Catalogue regulations, so they are not obtainable in the EU. Hopefully they are genuine seed, but I will have to evaluate going by descriptions of Rosada as I have never grown it. I will post my further experience.Update 30th June 2019:I attempted to grow a plant to one truss, and tried to germinate 5 seeds. I pre-germinate tomato seed individually under controlled and optimal conditions. None of the sample was viable. One seed produced a radicle which was unable to progress beyond 2mm. These seeds are not viable. They are either very old or have been stored badly. I am also not sure how a company called Just seed UK can be "Defra Registered 7291" with the seed delivered from an industrial estate in Shanghai, mainland China!

hope they are good when they have grown fingers crossed

Love Rosada tomatoes - although these seeds are for next year so will keep you postedAll seeds have sown, excellent result. We will buy from you again.

I don't think the seeds provided were actually seeds form Rosada plants - the tomatoes were orange not red and no where near as sweet as the real thing

Received a pack of tired looking tomato seeds that are in an un-marked plastic bag. No growing instructions, no organic certification paperwork. No way of knowing what I've got. Looks like they are seeds taken from a tomato at home. If so, the chances of them being true F1 are near enough zero.I think it's fair to say that these seeds are not what are quoted by Just Seed and that is down to the seller, Tom's Team who quote UK shipping and then send them from......China.

A good sweet and tasty tomato .First class prompt delivery as usual.
