Apple ‘Pacific Rose’ produces apples with clear, rose-pink skin and firm, crispy, and juicy flesh with a rich and sweet taste. The fruit becomes ripe in mid-autumn, while the pink buds on Apple ‘Pacific Rose’ open to white flowers during spring. To ensure proper pollination, Apple ‘Pacific Rose’ requires cross-pollination from other cultivars such as Apple ‘Gala’, Apple ‘Golden Delicious’, Apple ‘Granny Smith’, Apple ‘Monty’s Surprise’, Apple ‘Initial’, and Apple ‘Royal Gala’. Apple is deciduous and native to Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and China. Learn more about Apple. Apple ‘Pacific Rose’ was developed before 1989 by the Horticulture and Food Research Institute of New Zealand (PVR 624).
