          It's a T3sco registered trade mark, not a variety.

            Google not very helpful - just comes up as a fruit you can buy on Tesco veg counter. Variety exclusive to Tesco maybe.

                    Don't expect them to be true to form if they are F1..............which there is no way to find out unless T3sco are willing to tell you what variety they really are.

                      They're grown at Thanet Earth
                      I'm just guessing but they may be sold under another name at Sainsbugs, Weightrose etc.

                        I've never seen them anywhere else. I'll grow some seeds to see what i get but I'd like to know what they are so i can buy some seeds

                          They may well be F1 as BM has said in which case it could be pot luck on what you get if you have saved seeds from the fruit. Also VCs link suggests that they are a green house tomato and with that in mind may not do so well outside.
                          Pesonally I would find some decent seed of a variety that has good reviews on taste and will grow under the conditions you are able to give it if you want guaranteed success. A little bit of experimentation is fine but don't put all your eggs in one basket.

                            You can't buy seeds of Orange Rapture tomatoes. The name is a registered trade mark of Tesco's. BM posted a link in #7
                            Its a marketing name - meant to sound appealing - and exclusive to Tesco.
                            As I said earlier, these tomatoes are probably sold by the other supermarkets who will also have invented a name for them.

                              I know, that's why i asked whether anyone knew what type they actually are. If they are sold elsewhere, i have never seen them
