Overview

A reliable cropper with a steady, tidy habit, this popular plum tomato forms a neat framework that carries clusters of firm, oval fruits through the season. It suits both containers and open ground, growing well with simple support and producing consistent trusses after small yellow flowers have set cleanly.

The fruits develop a dense, meaty texture with fewer seeds and noticeably lower juice content, making them ideal for cooking down into sauces, soups, and purées. Their balanced, sweet flavour also works well in salads when picked fully coloured.

Tomato ‘Roma’ remains a dependable choice for gardeners wanting uniform and multi-purpose fruits that stay productive outdoors or in a greenhouse over a long period.

Specifications

  • Position: Full sun
  • Soil: Moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil, or peat-free general purpose compost
  • Rate of growth: Fast-growing
  • Hardiness: Frost tender

Care guide

Support plants as they grow by tying the main stem to canes or string, and regularly pinch out side-shoots to focus energy into fruiting. Keep soil consistently moist and feed weekly with a high-potash fertiliser once flowers appear.

Towards the end of the season, to help ripen any remaining fruit, lift the plants off supports and lay them flat in a sunny, sheltered spot, ideally under a cloche to retain warmth.

Planting requirements

  • From February to May, sow 1cm deep in trays or two seeds per pot selecting the strongest seedling on germination. This takes one to two weeks and is best done at 64°F (18°C), ideally in a heated propagator, or covered with a clear plastic bag and placed on a warm windowsill.
  • Use multi-purpose compost, to cover seeds. Plant out in a greenhouse from March or outside once the risk of frost has passed.
