Rosette

Rosette is a sport of Discovery. It differs from Discovery due to its characteristic deep red / pink flesh. The picking time is roughly the same as for Discovery - late August.

The apple has a slightly more tart flavor, a common trait in mutations with redder flesh. Nevertheless, Rosette is just as crisp as Discovery and offers a good balance between acidity and fruitiness. It is also excellent for cooking and juicing, as the flesh turns products like applesauce or juice completely pink.

Domestic apples are best stored in the refrigerator +2/4°C, as the fruit softens relatively quickly at room temperature.
