Harvesting: August to October
- Caledonian Rose is a new variety of maincrop seed potato that produces beautifully textured, tasty potatoes with bright red skin and yellow flesh, ready for harvesting from August to October. Caledonian Rose is a genuine all round potato and has a great flavour, the perfect balance between floury and waxy.
- These premium hardy seed potatoes are high yielding, easy to grow and very disease resistant. They are ideal for growing in vegetable patches and allotments. They can also be grown in a potato bag on a patio or in a greenhouse, if space is limited. Wait until the stems have died down completely before harvesting.
- Caledonian Rose are popular for UK growing due to their versatility and excellent all round cooking qualities. They can be boiled, roasted, steamed and mashed. They also make excellent baked potatoes, chips and for cutting up to make wedges.
- These maincrop potatoes should be planted from March to April when the last frost has passed. Plant them at a depth of 10 cm, with 30-40 cm between each potato, and 70-75 cm between each row in a sheltered position that receives full sunlight. They are best planted in moist well draining looming soil but can grow in a variety of other soils types but nothing too heavy. Water the plants well, especially when the weather gets warmer. It's important to build up the soil around the shoots as they appear to protect them from the cold.
