Rogue Red Pear on OHxF 87 (Spring 2026)
A lovely winter pear, a Comice offspring.
The tree is very upright and vigorous. It is susceptible to fire blight. Suggested pollination partners include Bartlett, Comice, and Bosc. It is not well pollinated by Anjou.
Rogue Red is a pretty, red winter pear. The fruit is large, with a tapering neck, and the majority of the green skin is blushed red. The flesh is tender, melting, and juicy, with few stone cells, and the flavor is honeyed. Rogue Red can be ripened off the tree without any time in cold storage. The fruit is firm enough for commercial use.
Crossed in 1947, evaluated and selected in 1955, and released in 1969, Rogue Red was created by breeders at the S. Oregon Experiment Station.
