Neither floury nor waxy, it's a true all-rounder; delicious boiled, steamed, mashed, baked, roasted, or prepared as tasty wedges. Its wonderful flavour and texture have earned rave reviews, with one leading supermarket describing it as "Unbelievable! Absolutely fabulous."

Robust and easy to grow, the Caledonian Rose is an excellent example of a disease-resistant seed potato. It shows good resistance to many common problems found in British gardens, and its red skin is thought to offer additional protection against slugs.
