It will be interesting to find out if this 'indigo rose' is been picked having any difference to the OSU blue we grow. Perharps they found a seedling that 'behaved' differently to the others and using that as 'mother' for commercial seeds. ???
You may be right although I believe Indigo Rose is also known as P20-3-1 (Dr Myers eagerly awaited variety) and it is the first time this selection is being released to the public. What we grew is simply known as OSU, which found it’s way from the university rather than being released. Flavour is reported to be superior in Indigo Rose and it is a far more stable variety with a clear epidermis rather than the yellow with OSU blue. I agree flavour is quite good with OSU, although often read it reviewed poorly, I wonder if our cooler growing conditions which also help bring out the colour also help flavour? I couldn't resist, I’ve ordered some from the above company and I'm looking forward to comparing how they do next year. Managed to slip in a few other seeds too ;D
Lol, I crossed Sungold F7 to Miro Gemma and Ditmarsher ;DOne of our members sent me this link to Indigo Rose http://www.johnnyseeds.com/p-8711-indigo-rose-og.aspx They do appear quite a bit smaller than OSU we have been growing.

I guess with the aim of getting miniature plants with Sungold type tomatoes, interesting. Did you dehybridise the Sungold?
First tomato up this year on day 3 in the propagator is Black Cherry. Not just one seed, but all that were sown uniformly. Thanks 1066. Looking forward to growing and tasting these. Not enough room last year, so they had to wait a year, but that hasn't done the seeds any harm evidently ;D
