A variety of green eating apple with dark red streaks and flush and a little russeting. It was raised some time before 1900 by Charles Ross of Welford Park Gardens at Newbury in Buckinghamshire as a cross between Peasgood's Nonsuch and Cox's Orange Pippin. It received the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Merit in 1900. It has good texture but not huge flavour. It can also be cooked and keeps its shape. This mid-season variety is harvested from late September in South-East England and is at its best from October to December.
