60 days, dwarf - The plants of 'Dwarf Arctic Rose' have regular leaf, dark green rugose foliage with stout central stems and grows to about three feet tall. Fruit are smooth and round to oblate, ranging from three to eight ounces, and ripen pink (clear skin, red interior). Flavor is well balanced and delicious.

Developed between 2006 and 2012 by the members of the "Dwarf Tomato Project" from a cross between 'Budai Torpe' and 'Black from Tula', made in 2006 by Patrina Nuske Small in Australia and named 'Grumpy'. Sherry Shiesl and Susan Bailey of Alaska carried out the majority of the selection work on this new variety, which was named collaboratively by them in 2011. Ted Maiden grew out the initial seed supply for its 2012 introduction.

Special Groups: Dwarf Tomato Project
Harvest Timing: Early/Short Season

Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.

Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.

Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.

★★★★★ This is the best tomatoes I ever had

I have a small garden so I couldn't really get indeterminate tomatoes, and I stumbled on dark tomatoes and I was not sure about these. To my surprise these work so well I'm starting to get tomatoes right now! If you're a small space Gardener I really suggest getting these!

Arctic Rose is early and delicious. I have seeds for over 120 varieties of tomatoes. I only grow between 20-30 varieties per season, and usually half of them are new to me, so the slots filled by must-grow tomatoes are precious. These and the Dwarf Lemon Ice are on my must-grow list.
