Roma Tomato – The "Sauce Specialist" for Meaty, Thick-Walled Fruits and World-Class Canning
Shop the highest quality Roma Tomato seeds and bring the flavor of an Italian kitchen to your own backyard. When it comes to making the perfect paste or sauce, the Roma is the "Undisputed Champion." This world-famous heirloom is known for its pear-shaped fruits, meaty texture, and very few seeds. At The Seed Guy, we believe we aren't just selling a packet of seeds; we are preserving a family tradition with the grandkids, the incredible aroma of a slow-simmering pot of "Sunday gravy," and the pride of a "County Fair Quality" harvest that fills your pantry for the winter.
In the garden, Roma is a determinate (bush-type) plant that produces a heavy, concentrated crop, meaning most of your tomatoes ripen around the same time—perfect for large-scale canning projects. This variety is the premier choice for anyone who wants to "get your sauce on"—offering a tomato that cooks down beautifully without being watery. It is a fantastic companion plant for peppers and borage, which help attract the bees needed for a heavy fruit set. At The Seed Guy, our seeds are tested for elite germination, ensuring you get sturdy, disease-resistant plants that provide a bountiful harvest of gourmet-quality paste tomatoes.

Roma Tomato Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Move to the garden only after all danger of frost has passed and the soil is warm.
2. Preparation: Select a sunny location with rich, well-draining soil. Adding a bit of composted manure to the planting hole will give these heavy producers the energy they need.
3. Sowing: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. Keep the seedlings under bright light to prevent them from becoming "leggy" before transplanting.
4. Care: While Romas are bush-type plants, a small cage or stake helps keep the heavy fruit clusters off the soil. This prevents rot and makes harvesting much easier.
5. Pests and Diseases: This variety is bred for health, but always water at the ground level to keep the leaves dry. Harvest when the fruits are a deep, uniform red and firm to the touch.
Solanum lycopersicum
