Potatoes - Romano
Dutch, 1978, so-called replacement for Desiree. Early maincrop. Flavour not so good as
desiree but blight resistance better (7). Very common in shops and supermarkets. Good general
purpose potato. Midway between waxy and floury. Cold potatoes go a bit clammy. I've only grown this once
in pots and saw no flowers. Its parent, Desiree, has purple blossom so I guess this variety would be
similar.
