TOMATO-ROUGE DE MARMANDE (Red of Marmande in France where it was developed) is an old-fashioned variety first introduced in 1925. It is a vigorous, disease resistant, an indeterminate bush variety that is highly regarded for an exceptional fruit that can set in cool conditions. Bears a plentiful early to a mid-season crop of large bright red deeply oblate (flat fruit often with ridges) with an excellent flavor.
