Fantastic disease resistance and pest tolerance.
Our community garden was plagued by cucumber beetles (Diabrotica speciosa), squash bugs (Anasa tristis), and squash vine borers (Melittia cucurbitae) last year. The cucumber beetles in particular were a problem, as they are the primary vector of bacterial wilt in cucurbits (Erwinia tracheiphila); all of the squash were annihilated come July. As a testament to its vigor and apparent resistance/tolerance to both disease and insect pressure, however, this cultivar continued on without much of a problem. On account of this worthwhile predisposition, in conjunction with its excellent table quality, I would definitely recommend 'Butternut Rugosa' for trial in Southern Wisconsin.

Best Butternut Squash
This was the first and best butternut squash I've ever grown. The flavor is superb. It is massive, which adds time to it's preparation so last year I chose to grow a more manageable sized butternut, Waltham. No comparison. The extra effort this squash takes pays back in richness and depth of flavor. As long as I have the space for it, I will always grow this variety. Stores for me for about 9 months. The roasted seeds are delicious!

amazing flavor
This was the best butternut type squash I have ever grown. Vigorous vines, tons of flowers which I used the males for frying, and the fruit itself is so sweet and dense and delicious. Cut in half and seeded, baked in the oven for puree, the cut side on the baking sheet became crispy and tasted like candy. Delicious!
