Winter Rose is a brightly coloured pinky-red apple that colours up after the first frosts or cold nights. It is tart and juicy and great eating (if that is your fancy). We pick it in late May and early June. Our tree is host to a colony of metallic blue ladybugs. These are harmless and are sometimes found asleep on the apples.
