OriginNew Zealand

Sciros (or Pacific Rose) is a cultivar of domesticated apple. This apple is mostly sweet with very little acidity, often compared to the 'Fuji' apple for taste, and keeps very well in storage.[1] According to Orange Pippin it is an attractive new late-season high-quality dessert apple, a hybrid between 'Gala' and 'Splendour' apples, mostly resembling the latter.[2]

Pacific Rose is a trademark administered by ENZA, the New Zealand Apple and Pear Marketing Board.[3] The licensing arrangement for this apple has been contentious, with Chilean apples marketed without approval.[4]
