Autumn Rose is an attractive, early maturing red-skinned, white-fleshed variety. This new—and highly anticipated—variety originates out of a breeding program in the Netherlands, and is a great addition to the Norland market. Compared to Norland, Autumn Rose has shallow eyes and slightly higher starch content, with excellent taste and texture.
