{"product_id":"western-rose-garlic","title":"Organic Western Rose Garlic (lb)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic Western Rose seed garlic\u003c\/strong\u003e comes from the western U.S. Silverskin tradition and is described as a larger relative of the familiar Silver Rose type. Silverskins became important garden and commercial softnecks because their flexible stems braid well and properly cured bulbs can keep later than many other garlic groups. Western Rose adds attractive rose-toned cloves and medium flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMix \u0026amp; match savings.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e This item is eligible for the Garlic Mix \u0026amp; Match discount.

This late Silverskin follows many earlier varieties, spreading out the work at digging time. Rose-toned clove skins dress up the otherwise pale bulbs, while flexible stems invite braiding. Once properly cured, its strong keeping ability makes it a smart counterpoint to flavor-forward hardnecks that should be eaten sooner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe medium, classic garlic flavor works well in sauces, soups, roasted vegetables, marinades, pickles, and everyday sautés. Raw cloves add a sharper bite to pesto or dressing, while roasting develops sweetness and a smoother finish. Silverskins often contain a range of clove sizes: choose larger cloves for slicing or roasting and use the smaller inner cloves when building stocks, braises, or spice pastes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen growing Western Rose, reserve a sunny row that can stay in place into the later part of the garlic harvest. Plant in fall in freely draining soil, keep spring growth supplied with even moisture, and allow the Silverskin bulbs time to finish. As the tops decline in mid- to late summer, taper watering and check the wrappers. Cure the crop thoroughly out of direct sun, leaving the stems untrimmed for braiding and long-term storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVariety Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silverskin softneck garlic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium, classic, and versatile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulbs \u0026amp; Cloves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Typically 12–15 cloves per bulb; bulb size and count vary with growing conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale outer wrappers with rose to pink-toned clove skins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate Harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid- to late summer; timing varies by climate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZones \u0026amp; Climate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zones 5–9; suited to many mild and moderate winter regions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strong keeping potential when fully cured and stored dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSomething Special:\u003c\/strong\u003e A late Silverskin that combines rose-colored cloves, braidability, and pantry longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompare Garlic Varieties\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor planting and variety guidance, visit the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/pages\/garlic-resource-center\"\u003eGarlic Resource Center\u003c\/a\u003e, use the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/pages\/garlic-selector\"\u003eGarlic Selector\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/collections\/seed-garlic-and-shallots\"\u003eSeed Garlic \u0026amp; Shallots\u003c\/a\u003e.
