58 days — 'Roma II' is one of our family's personal favorite, as well as one of the most popular, Romano-type Italian beans. The pods are broad and flat, and grayish-green in color. We like to eat them steamed with a light coating of butter, salt and black pepper. They are very tasty fresh but since they retain their flavor after processing, also good frozen or canned.
Under most conditions 'Roma II' produces a very determinate bush. However, there have reportedly been certain light and/or temperature conditions in both field and greenhouse plantings, which have induced the development of short runners on the plants. This rarely occurs, but when it does, it can affect a high proportion of the plants within the population. 'Roma II' was selected by Rogers Brothers Seed Company as a disease resistant strain from the original 'Roma' bean and introduced in 1978.[1] PVP was originally awarded in 1980 but expired in 1997. Each ounce is approximately 70 seeds.
