Roma II Bush Bean
Growing Roma II Bush Bean
‘Roma II’ Bush Bean is an early-producing variety known for the distinctive flavor of a Romano-style bean in a compact, true bush habit. Plants produce long, broad, flat, bright green pods that are stringless and especially valued for their tender texture and rich flavor.
Sow ‘Roma II’ directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. The sturdy, upright bush plants require no trellising and produce heavy yields with a growth habit that makes harvesting easier.
Harvest the pods while they are young, tender, and fully developed for the best texture and flavor. Pick regularly as the beans mature to help maintain pod quality and encourage continued production.
‘Roma II’ offers good rust resistance and is excellent for fresh cooking, freezing, and canning. Its broad, flat pods are especially well suited to Italian-style dishes and other recipes where a tender Romano-type bean is preferred.
