My mother has been successfully freezing Roma beans for years. They need to be quickly blanched, shocked in an ice bath, spread out on a tray or baking sheet to be individually frozen, then sealed in a ziplock or vacuum sealed once frozen.
I've managed to produce just enough for fresh eating so I haven't had enough to freeze. My bush Romas are still out producing the pole Romas, so maybe next year when I go with all bush plants, I'll have enough to freeze some for winter eating. And we've tried the bush and pole Romas side-by-side and there is absolutely no difference.
