Chasselas Rosé is an old French variety of red grape vine from late 19th century. It is popular for its mild and sweet taste and crunchy consistency of medium-sized to large berries. They are produced in heavy grapes of rich pink to purple red colour, early in the season: in late August in warm regions, and in early to mid September in colder regions. As it almost lacks acidity it is commonly used as table grape, though co-called pink (rosé) wines are still very popular. Suitable for outdoor and green-house cultivation.
Grape vine has to be pruned every year in warmer days of January or at the end of winter after the danger of the worst frosts. Cut back side branches to 2-3 buds – 2-years-old wood bears fruit. Treat it against mite before buds open. When it sets fruit cut off the new shoots a few centimeters above the grape and do not let it grow again. From midsummer you can start removing leaves from above the grapes to allow direct sunlight. Get some wasp-trap as they could ruin your fruit and may get dangerous.
Grow grape vine in sunny and airy (not windy) locations. It is not suitable for damp sites and shady pergolas where it can easily be affected by diseases. Provide a good support. The best results are on slopes – because of the angle of sun rays. The soil has to be permeable, humus-rich and deep. Extra watering is desired by end spring and later only if the summer is dry, and always directly in the soil, never water the whole plant. In autumn remove fallen leaves from under the plants as they might contain diseases and mites. Fertilizing is good if adequate and selective, otherwise the plant will grow wild and set too much fruit of inferior quality. Fully hardy to -17°C or -23°C on protected sites (USDA zone 6).
