Vitis vinifera 'Miss Rose'

Vitis vinifera 'Miss Rose'

Common name: Miss Rose Grape

Description: This exceptional dessert grape variety produces beautiful clusters of medium-sized, seedless grapes with an attractive rose-pink blush. The fruits ripen from late summer into early autumn, offering a sweet, refreshing flavour with subtle muscat notes. The decorative lobed leaves emerge fresh green in spring, creating excellent coverage on pergolas, walls, or arbours throughout summer before turning attractive shades of gold and red in autumn. Small, fragrant flowers appear in early summer, providing a delicate display before the fruit develops. 'Miss Rose' is a reliable cropper in the British climate and combines ornamental appeal with productive fruiting, making it ideal for both eating fresh and creating an attractive garden feature.
