Dwarf Arctic Rose Certified Naturally Grown Seed

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.  Each packet contains about 20 seeds.

★★★★★ Love these tomatoes
By Jules (MT) on March 2, 2025

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.

★★★★★ Delicious!
By Garden Maven (Savannah, GA) on June 15, 2024

Easy to germinate and seedlings prolific. Very happy with my purchase. Will buy more for next season — how I remember tomatoes should taste!

★★★★★ Beautiful ... large tomatoes for such a compact plant.
By Kelli Gross on March 5, 2017

I grew these indoor in an Aerogarden then transplanted them outside. They grew well with large tomatoes for such a compact plant. Pretty tasty.
