Century Heirloom grown since the 1840s. Rare and beautiful rosy-colored fingerling potato with moderately dry waxy golden flesh. Splendid baked or boiled. Steady watering will minimize second growth (knobbiness). Grows high in hills. Hill up soil extra well. Great taste. 105-135 days to maturity.

Love this variety but am disappointed that it sells out so quickly. I order early but am rarely able to get any :-(
Excellent disease and pest resistance
Aug 6, 2011 | By Tracy Porter
The Rose Finn ranked #1 and #2 for disease/pest resistance and germination rate out of the 15 Wood Prairie Farm varieties I planted this year. The Colorado Potato Beetle did not like this variety at all; we did not find a single CPB on any of the 35 hills we planted and only 1 hill failed to germinate. I am only giving this variety a 4 rating because the yields (pound per plant) were the lowest of the 3 fingerling varieties we planted. I believe this variety is very susceptible to the heat in Virginia. I will grow this variety again next season to confirm if it doesn't do well in the heat or if I can improve the yields with more composted manure and straw mulch to protect the plant from the heat.
