A Swiss heirloom and a Brandywine cousin, the depth of rich fruit flavor makes Organic Rose de Berne Tomato our favorite for sandwiches and, truly, everything else. Her soft, translucent pink skin rarely cracks, even on the largest of the 4 to 6-ounce tomatoes. Rose de Berne is pure abundance once she starts producing and some Late Blight tolerance offers extra weeks of harvest even when disease arrives. 25 seeds
