An attractive new late-season high-quality dessert apple from New Zealand.

Pacific Rose™ is a high-quality dessert apple derived from Gala and Splendor, which has become available in supermarkets from around 2005. Visually it mostly resembles Splendor. It is primarily an apple for eating fresh.

Pacific Rose™ is the marketing name, the actual variety name is Scirose - it is part of the same breeding programme from ENZA that brought us Jazz (cultivar name: Scifresh). The marketing name seems to nicely fit the apple.

	This is by far my favourite new apple variety. Only one small local grocer ever has them. We love them.

	I served this apple last night to guests, and had a couple people ask what kind of apple it was. I think that this is my favorite apple by far!

	This is the sweetest apple I have ever had hands down. It truly is a dessert apple. Put it in the freezer for 15 minutes before eating for the most pleasurable experience. Juicy, Sweet, Crunch!
