Hidden Rose® apple trees

(Airlie Red Flesh)

• Check pollinators >

• Picking season: Very late
• Self-fertility: Not self-fertile
• Flowering group: 2

Hidden Rose is a plain green-skinned apple, but when you bite into it you find the unusual rose pink flesh inside.

As with many red or pink-fleshed apples the blossom is a deeper pink than is found in regular white-fleshed apples. This puts Hidden Rose in the middle of the spectrum which runs from regular mainstream apples with white or light pink blossom, green leaves, and white or cream flesh, to the dark-fleshed crab apples which usually have very dark pink blossom and bronze leaves. 

Hidden Rose apples ripen quite late in the season. They have a pleasant tangy flavour, and overall this is one of the better-tasting red or pink-fleshed varieties. The apples can be kept in cold storage for several months.
