    One of top tasting tomatoes with resistance to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus, Not quite as resistant as Mountain Merit or Amelia, but generally does well here. Good producer of half pound fruits.

    I grew Bella Rosa in my garden for a couple of seasons, and was not that impressed. The medium-sized fruits tended to develop cracks at the stem end, and the plants had some blight. Not planning to grow these again.
