Tomato Rosa de Barbastro Seeds

€4.50

Solanum lycopersicum

Rosa de Barbastro is a celebrated Spanish heirloom indeterminate (vining) tomato from the village of Barbastro in the Somontano region, prized for its exceptional flavour and elegant pink skin. It produces large, slightly flattened fruits with delicate ribbing and tender, almost melting flesh.

Sweet, aromatic, and low in acidity, Rosa de Barbastro is considered one of the finest tomatoes for fresh eating. Its juicy texture and refined balance make it ideal for simple salads with extra virgin olive oil and flaky sea salt, where its flavour truly shines. Best grown in a greenhouse or polytunnel to ensure full ripening on the vine.

Average number of seeds: 14

Open-pollinated, chemical-free Irish garden seeds. Grown and saved in Wexford, Ireland. We only grow and save seeds from plants that were started from certified organic seeds.

Each seed packet includes growing tips and cooking suggestions inside.

  • It takes around 5-6 months from sowing a seed to harvesting your first ripe tomato. To grow tomatoes successfully, follow a few simple steps. For a detailed, step-by-step growing guide, visit our Grow & Cook section.

    Sow indoors: February to April

    Plant out: Late May to June

    Harvesting time: July to October-November

  • Rosa de Barbastro is at its best served simply. Slice thickly and dress with extra virgin olive oil, flaky sea salt, and perhaps a few torn basil leaves. Pair with Manchego or good sourdough. This is a tomato to celebrate, not complicate.

    During tomato season, we eat tomatoes morning, noon, and night, as they bring us so much joy after months of nurturing. We eat them like sweets, in pasta dishes, or as part of a simple tomato salad with flaky sea salt.

    We also preserve tomatoes in various ways for the year ahead, making sauces, jams, and chutneys. Fresh tomatoes can be frozen whole for later use in pasta sauces, stews, soups, and casseroles.
