Vineuse Rouge is a Russian apple described in N.E. Hansen's 1902 A Study of Northwestern Apples. Hansen's Iowa Experiment Station fruiting records described it as identical or very similar to Red Transparent, Count Orloff, Grand Sultan, Green Transparent, and Aromatic Spike No. 354. [S1]
The fruit is medium to large, regular, and round oblate to conic. The skin is greenish yellow to pale yellow or white, rarely with a faint red splash or slight blush on the sunny side. It has a white bloom. The flesh is white, firm, juicy, fragrant, and subacid. Hansen rated it good for table use and very good for cooking. [S1]
Vineuse Rouge ripens very early, about one week before Yellow Transparent. It is perishable and should be picked early. Hansen warned that it can water-core and rot on the tree. [S1]
The tree is a strong grower with a round top and heavy annual crops. Hansen gave detailed fruit traits: a narrow abrupt cavity with an irregular russet patch, a short stout stem that is often clubbed, a small shallow basin, a small closed calyx, a closed or nearly closed clasping core, and a long funnel-shaped tube. [S1]
No direct hardiness zone is given. Its cold-climate relevance comes from its Russian origin and its inclusion in a South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station bulletin on northwestern apples, with observations from the Iowa Experiment Station orchard. [S1]
The name is misleading. Hansen noted that Vineuse Rouge means red wine colored, but the fruit he described was greenish yellow to pale yellow or white, only rarely with faint red. [S1]
