This variety Rosada F1 has delicious cherry plum tomatoes on long trusses, while the fruit texture is firm and fleshy. Because it's a hybrid variety, seeds do not normally grow true.
The seed is now unavailable to purchase because Rosada is now delisted for some reason.

Fortunately you can propagate with a side shoot or sucker, taken in early to mid October. They root easily in a small pot of compost.
The challenge is to keep such plants alive through winter. They don't want to be too warm, otherwise you have large and unmanageable plants. Nor must they freeze, or you lose them.
Sometimes I make new and more compact plants in February, using side shoots from overwintered ones.

Here we transplant them in mid spring, these went in on 25th April. No dig soil with compost mulch, no feeds given.
