He is very beautiful and very much everyone, especially women.
Perhaps foreseeing this, the variety was called “Romeo”?
Bunches such that the eye does not tear off, surprisingly correct, large, as if from a picture.
You will see such a miracle on the columns or hedge - and stop.
More, it seems, this handsome man is famous for nothing - this is a very young variety and most of its characteristics have not yet been confirmed ...
What kind is it?
Grapes "Romeo" - table hybrid subspecies; ripening period, as in a series of varieties under the general name Original - middle late.
Berry ripens in late August - mid September, sugar does not have to wait much.
On bushes it is also better not to keep long: fruit may begin to crack and deteriorate.
The most outstanding beauty in Romeo. Although beautiful grapes are not so little. These include Tayfi, Chocolate, Sophia and Ataman.
He perfectly copes with the decorative purpose, and the taste is similar to fruit marmalade - not refined, but not primitive.
But there is no need to buy marmalade - why is it when there are such large, wonderful berries.
It is used as a rule in a natural form and in homemade desserts, compotes, liqueurs.
Less often - in a blend of red wines. Storage berry carries well, if the conditions are met, but the transport does not tolerate at all. Berries are prone to cracking, as well as varieties Victoria or Anyuta.

Breeding history
The subspecies was bred by the Russian amateur breeder E.G. Pavlovsky.
Parent pair - varieties Demeter and Nystru.
The variety is very young and its popularity is not high yet.
It is widespread in the Black Sea region, Zaporozhye, in the south of Russia, otherwise it is not found where it is otherwise due to insufficient knowledge of the qualities.
Specifications
The variety is very prolific, needs rationing shoots.
True, according to some farmers, he perfectly rationalizes himself, he just dumps unnecessary berries.
But it is better to immediately produce normalization to six to eight eyes at a rate of 35 per bush.
Vine matures well, almost the entire length of the growth.
Nowadays characteristics of the variety are being testedtherefore, it is too early to say anything definitively.
The preliminary statements are as follows: frost resistance is good - up to minus 23 Celsius, very resistant to real and downy powdery mildew, pests, gray rot, mildew.
How much resistance to phylloxera is still unknown.
Sugar is not gaining much: the maximum percentage - 17-18 Brix.
It is good for “friends” with rootstocks, it is also well pollinated, it positively perceives additional care, watering and mineral fertilizers.
There is no consensus regarding the resistance of the wasps.
Diseases and pests
Wasps and birds are the eternal enemies of grapes.
And if scientists managed to create varieties that are “too tough” for striped hijackers, then for birds, they are still powerless.
Jays, sparrows, magpies, tits hunted and hunted ripe berries.
therefore the case will save a strong, inflexible mesh fence with small cells. Not rope - so that the bird could fly away.
Regarding the resistance of "Romeo" Osam reviews gardeners vary.
Some claim that they almost do not bite, others - that they simply adore. So you have to apply protection measures.
I must say that any fumigations and garlic broths provide little benefit - it is worth the striped predator to try the fruits once, and neither garlic nor smoke will distract her from them.
because the best way is to pack bunches into special nets.
Sticky traps and insecticides of the “OtOs” type also function well. The site must be checked for the presence of axle nests. All nests found must be destroyed. In addition, in the beams on which the bushes are held, be sure to seal the holes - wasps love to settle in them.
There is no exact data regarding phylloxera. They are fighting against it by spraying the bushes with volatile carbon disulfide in a concentration of 300-400 (but not less than 80) cubic centimeters per square meter.
This is a very poisonous substance that, in addition to the parasite, destroys the grapes itself, but it is better to sacrifice a bush than the whole vineyard - and this will certainly happen if you do not take action in time.
"Romeo" is famous for its outstanding external beauty. The taste is not primitive, but the simplest grapes with a pleasant taste.
Moreover, for the cultivation of such a handsome man on the site and special efforts will not be required. Just put the net from the birds and protect from wasps, as well as to produce standard preventive spraying.
