How to grow Potato 'Roseval'

  • Partial Sun

  • Medium

Roseval likes a position of partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Roseval is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Roseval requires a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 5.0 - 6.0 - it grows best in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

Growing Roseval from seed

Potatoes are generally grown from the eyes of another potato and not from seed.

Look to ensure a distance 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) deep.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Roseval about 14 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Roseval

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Roseval is a tender plant.
