Plant Features

Roma tomatoes are kitchen essentials, loved for their compact, meaty fruits that make processing a breeze. This open-pollinated variety yields bright red tomatoes weighing 2 to 4 ounces, with thick, firm skin—perfect for sauces, canning, or fresh use in salads. The flesh is dense and less juicy, delivering a mild, classic tomato flavor.

Why grow Roma? Known for its determinate growth, this plant reaches 3–4 feet, producing a concentrated crop through the season. With resistance to Fusarium and Verticillium Wilt, it’s a reliable choice for gardeners seeking versatile tomatoes that perform well in a compact, bushy form.

Grown naturally and pesticide-free, our Roma starter plants arrive strong and ready to thrive in your garden. Nurtured with care, they ensure a steady harvest of these practical tomatoes.

Big

Very tall already good thick stalk of plant and lots of root structure. ONLY complaint is both my tomatoes were very dry and should have been in a larger container for there size. Boarderline root bound out of the gate

Community Garden Additions

I wanted the children of the community garden to get to see and grow different varieties of organic plants. These were just one of many I purchased. They arrived in excellent condition

So pleased!

Plant came in good condition, planted it four weeks ago, and it is thriving and has tomatoes already.

Roma Tomato

Both plants arrived in secure packaging, drooping leaves, no damage to plants. Watered 10 minutes later they perked up standing about 7 tall with several blossoms. Been in ground about a week now, exhibiting signs of new growth, and the blooms are still going strong! Very Happy.

Healthy and well packaged

All plants received were healthy, good size and well packaged. Will definitely use this grower again!

From Ginger | May 07, 2020

Fabulous!

This was our first experience with GrowJoy. Not only did the plants arrive on time, and intact, it was clear they had been carefully packed. Great plants, along with easy to follow instructions. Our only regret is that we didn't find GrowJoy sooner!

From Andrea | May 07, 2020

Healthy

These plants came healthy and appear to be in great shape! I can’t wait to get them in the ground and see how they produce. Always excellent products from GrowJoy. They are my favorite!

Roma

Plants arrived in great shape and in a timely manner. They're doing Beautifully.

From Edward | June 14, 2019

Excellent Quality

My plants arrived in secure packaging that ensured no amount of rough handling during shipment would harm them in any way. The plants were healthy and strong right out of the box. They took me back to the taste of grandma's spaghetti sauce. Don't waste your money on store-bought plants. Who knows what they've been through and you always get what you pay for!

From John | May 11, 2018

From anonymous | June 22, 2014

Delightfully Surprised

I have never previously ordered live tomato plants before and I have to say I was surprised at how well of condition they arrived. They were strong, healthy and already started some flowers. Haven't had any of the fruit yet as it's too early in the season, but I'd order them again.

From Amie | June 09, 2014

Best Place to Buy Tomato Plants

I highly recommend GrowJoy for your gardening needs. The plants arrived as advertised, healthy and in moist soil. This is my second year ordering from them and I wouldn't even consider buying from anyone else!

From Angelia | May 30, 2014

Roma Tomato Plant

Plant arrived already blooming, tall and healthy.

From Tom | May 05, 2014

Roma Tomato is blooming

I'm so Happy that after a full month and my tomato plants 4 to 5 x their size, I am back to order again. My garden is 20 x 12 and 4 x 12. with about 16 varieties of each and my biggest and best all from GrowJoy. If you are considering online vegetables, look no further. Great shipping, impeccable arrivals all stunning!

From Janis | May 26, 2013
