Fortunately we like firm ripe tomatoes not at all soft. MRosa is at its best young and firm...a very fresh bright pink cherry well balanced fruity sweet with a citrus tang. Not at all the pop explosion i get from a SunGold. More subtle but most interesting is the clean clear finish of nice tomatoey flavor that lingers. Like GGWT it is holding well all week with SunGold, CubanYellow, ChocolateCherry for the cherries...and CherokeeChocolate for my larger fruits. Just about everything else i need to check daily for soft spots and freeze asap. used for winter salsa.
I've had a great tomato year despite low in production overall. All mentioned above are producing well above all others. MagliaRosa did flop to the ground rather quick and a bit wispy leafed. Just needs a better spot next year. Hand in hand with CubanYellow might be perfect as CY shoots up tall very fast before fruiting and also a delicate leaf plant.
