White Rose
Silky-smooth skin and a luminous, creamy-white flesh define White Rose potatoes at maturity, with a gentle, nutty sweetness that feels refined rather than starchy. The tubers form in tidy, oval-to-elongated shapes and hold a tender, velvety texture that shines in hearty, home-style preparations—ideal for roasting to a golden edge, mashing for a satiny bowl, and turning into comforting soups or gratins. Grow White Rose for reliable harvest timing around 80 days and a harvest that looks as good as it tastes.

Sowing Tips
Soil Temperature
Direct sow or transplant when soil at planting depth holds 45°F for reliable germination and early growth.
Expert Note
Plant certified seed potatoes in loose, hilled soil once soil temps reach the mid-40s °F, and keep adding soil as the plants emerge to prevent tubers from greening.
