Tomato ‘La Roma III’

‘La Roma III’ was bred to be the best for sauce

Simply said, ‘La Roma III’ is the best sauce tomato. Classic bright red fruits are thick-walled and meaty with very few seeds. They have a minimal amount of juice so the thick flesh cooks down into an equally thick sauce—and the cooking only intensifies the flavor. These tomatoes are great for roasting, too, and they freeze well for using later.

‘La Roma III’ is a tomato to add to your collection for the name recognition alone. Everyone knows that ‘Roma’ is one of the best Italian-type tomatoes on the market and this hybrid is even more vigorous, producing higher yields of uniform, disease-resistant tomatoes. It’s a farmer’s market favorite.

This tomato comes in the 1202 flat, the 1801 flat, and the 4.5-inch pot.
