Other large red fruited beefsteak varieties that I think are pretty darn good would include the following:
Russian Bogatyr ( the indet one)
Milka's Red Bulgarian
Cuostralee
Red Penna
Chapman
Andrew Rahart's Jumbo Red ( not jumbo)
OTV Brandywine
.... to name a few and not in any particular order.
And if only seeds for the real Rostova, aka Sunset Red Horizon, were available, which they aren't right now, I definitely would add Rostova to the list. I sent the last of my true Rostova seeds to Linda at TGS b'c what she was listing was the wrong one that TF is also offering which is a heart and true Rostova in a great large red beefsteak. So hopefully Linda was able to germinate those seeds and sometime in the future true Rostova might be available again.
