Potato Caledonian Rose (Maincrop Seed Potato)

An excellent all-round maincrop potato with attractive red skin and pale-yellow flesh. Whether you prefer your potatoes boiled, steamed, roasted or chipped, this potato is an ideal choice. As hardy as it is beautiful and cropping plentifully, Caledonian Rose benefits from a good scab and eelworm resistance, making it an easy to grow choice. Potatoes are one of the most rewarding vegetables to grow. There's the nurturing process of chitting, planting and earthing-up, the anticipation of a good harvest as you dig through the soil and, of course, the unbeatable taste of fresh, home-grown, potatoes. All potatoes (except for maincrops) will benefit from chitting prior to planting out. The chitting process encourages the seed to sprout, which then when planted, helps them to establish more readily, leading to bigger crops. Simply place them, blunt end up, in an old egg box until the shoots are approximately 1 to ½cm (½ to 1in). Potatoes are delivered in 1kg bags, each pack containing approx. 8-14 tubers.
