    Was it a fat, sweet, extra juicy, slightly pinkish thin skinned crunchy piece of heaven? Cause if so, it was a Pacific Rose.

    Where did you find them? I haven't ever heard of a Pacific Rose Apple and I live in Washington (apple country).

    OMG YES, the guy at the produce section recommended them to me and they are indeed AWESOME! IS it a new variety or something?

    I just tried one today called a Pinata Apple....it is fairly new and WONDERFUL. It is a cross between a Golden Delicious and a Cox Orange Pippin (never heard of this one). It is kind of tart but sweet at the same time and very crunchy and juicy. I LOVE apples. I have an orchard started but it will be a few years before I get much.

    Got mine at Meijer's store.

    The Pacific Rose is a limited-availability apple well worth seeking


    The Pacific Rose is beautifully distinctive, pink to red color, superb crunch and juicy flesh. It is a mostly sweet apple with very little tartness


    Selection Information

    Usage: The Pacific Rose apple has a superb crunch, with firm, juicy, cream-colored flesh. The apple is thin-skinned for excellent eating. The Pacific Rose has a clean, refreshingly sweet flavor which also makes it a perfect desert apple.

    Selection & Storage: Good-quality Pacific Roseapples will be firm with smooth, clean skin and have good color for the variety. Test the firmness of the apple by holding it in the palm of your hand. (Do not push with your thumb). It should feel solid and heavy, not soft and light.

    To store, keep Pacific Rose apples as cold as possible in the refrigerator. Apples do not freeze until the temperature drops to 28.5 degrees F.

    Avoid: Avoid product with soft or dark spots. Also if the apple skin wrinkles when you rub your thumb across it, the apple has probably been in cold storage too long or has not been kept cool.



    Seasonal Information

    The Pacific Rose apple is available June to September from New Zealand and December to March from Washington State.
