Requa (grape)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Requa is one of the lesser known members of the collection of grape varieties known as Rogers' Hybrids, created by E.S. Rogers in the mid 1800's, and is the result of a cross of Carter, a selection of Vitis labrusca, and Black Hamburg, a selection of Vitis vinifera. It was originally known as Rogers No. 28, until Rogers named it after a Mr. Requa, a horticulturist of local note in Salem-on-Essex, Massachusetts.
Requa is female, and thus requires a second grape variety as a pollen source. Fruit is a dark red, ripens late, and is prone to rot.
