Once I read(potato council, maybe), they are officially rated 0-9 for blight resistance, so there will be quite a difference between varieties rating 1 or 8, like Orla for ex.

I was given a handful Golden Wonder seed potatoes (from a reliable source) which I believe was supposed to be blight resistant. They got blight.

The keywords are 'blight resistant' not 'blight proof'.

Last year it was very virulent.

PS the emoticon I really wanted should have been blowing a raspberry
