Too pretty to resist. A taste of that rosy blush apple and you'll know it has more than good looks. This Pacific Rose is a cross of a Gala/Splendour, and combines both parents' flavors into unmatched perfection. Though originally from New Zealand, it debuted in North America in 1996. It now thrives in the fertile soil of the Pacific Northwest, waiting for your first bite.

Pacific Rose Apples are available from Washington State from November through April, and from New Zealand in late May through October.

In between the imperfect moments, life is rosy with this apple.
