The Tea Rose tomato was bred by Russian breeders and has a number of advantages.
Variety characteristic: medium early, indeterminate, large-fruited, resistant to many diseases of tomatoes. Created specifically for greenhouse cultivation, but in regions with a stable warm climate, they are also grown outdoors. Tomatoes of this variety can be grown all year round in heated greenhouses.
A bush of this variety grows up to 1.8-2 m high, therefore, it necessarily requires a garter to a vertical or horizontal support. The stem is lianate and flexible. The formation of the stem of this tomato is carried out as the plant grows in 1-2 trunks. Since the fruits are quite large, it is imperative to tie the trunk to the support.
The leaves of the seedlings are light, and when the plant is gaining growth, they become dark green, slightly elongated. For 1 sq. m 4-5 plants are planted. The plant is tall, so the planting is carried out using the 50 x 50 cm technology. The period from seed germination to fruiting of the plant is 110-115 days.
The resistance of the Tea Rose variety to tomato diseases is high.

Fertilizing and feeding
During the formation of seedlings, before picking, fertilize with liquid fertilizers for plant growth, twice with an interval of 7 days.
- When transplanting to a permanent place, the root system is watered or dipped in Fitosporin solution, which prevents infection with fungal infections and feeds the plant with microelements.
Features of winter growing tomatoes for a good harvest
“Tea Rose” tomatoes are light-loving and thermophilic, so in winter it is especially important to maintain the light and temperature conditions in the greenhouse. The optimum temperature for heating the soil for tomatoes is 18-22 aboutC. You can light up for 4-5 hours, prolonging daylight hours in sunny weather.But, since it is usually cloudy in autumn and winter, the greenhouses are artificially illuminated around the clock, or turning off the light for 6-8 hours a day.
Growing tomatoes includes watering, loosening, fertilizing bushes.
Watering features
- Water the tomatoes with warm water at about 18-20 degrees and at least 15 degrees.
- It is better if the watering is drip. If watering is not drip, then the water consumption, depending on the age of the plant, is from 5 to 10 liters under the root every 8-12 days.
- Watering must be alternated with loosening the soil under the tomato bushes. This will protect the planting from the development of fungal diseases and ensure optimal aeration of the plant.
For normal pollination and fruit ovary, tea rose tomatoes require a moisture content of 65-70%. The increased humidity of the air, in addition to the development of the fungus, leads to sticking of pollen and pollination of tomatoes does not occur. Reduced humidity leads to the fact that pollen scatters and does not fall on the pistil, in which case pollination also does not occur.
Tea Rose tomatoes are fertilized throughout the entire growing period.
It is important that the feeding of tomatoes is carried out in a timely manner and does not exceed the norm, otherwise the tomatoes can be ruined.
