Origin New Zealand

Pacific Rose is a trademark that can be used for the 'Sciros' cultivar of domesticated apple. The trademark is administered by ENZA,[1] (the New Zealand Apple and Pear Marketing Board). According to Orange Pippin it is an attractive new late-season high-quality dessert apple, a hybrid between 'Gala' and 'Splendour' apples, mostly resembling the latter. [2]

This apple is mostly sweet with very little acidity, often compared to the 'Fuji' apple for taste, and keeps very well in storage.[3]

The licensing arrangement for this apple has been contentious, with Chilean apples marketed without approval.[4]
