New from the Scottish Crop Research Institute, Glen Rosa is an exceptionally hardy mid-season variety, cropping one week later than the standard variety Glen Clova. The yields have been very heavy in official trials, consistently outyielding all standard varieties. The rounded small to medium sized fruits have a most attractive bright appetising colour and are displayed on erect spine free fruiting laterals to give very easy picking. The flavour of the fruit is good, the cropping potential impressive. However, what really makes Glen Rosa of such enormous value to the Amateur Gardener is its extreme hardiness and disease resistance. It will thrive in all parts of the country, including the extreme north, and has shown resistance to all 5 types of Aphid Virus Vector, Spur Blight, Cane Botrytis and Bushy Dwarf Raspberry Virus. Quite a claim! A highly recommended cultivar for all parts of the country.







We have in place very rigorous standards for the health,
providence and uniformity of all our fruiting plants & trees. Our Nursery and the stock we grow is
inspected and passported for health regularly by DEFRA experts [formerly the Ministry of Agriculture]
and we have in place our own stringent controls and inspection programmes to ensure our fruiting
bushes and trees are the best, most disease free stocks available and truly beyond compare.
We always propagate from certified stock where this exists and have the highest standards regarding providence
and grading. If only the very best will do – as it should – then you can rely on a Chris Bowers fruiting
plant to give the most exemplary results available. We firmly believe that only the very healthiest
stock can and does produce vastly superior results – and it shows.
