Ribes sanguineum

My Ribes has got so tall think I'm going to have to give it a hair cut.after it's finished flowering

It's gorg!

How beautiful, bet it smells good!😜

Beautiful

Looking lovely today. Shame I'm not keen on the smell!!

Does it bear fruit or is it ornamental?

The plant encyclopedia says "bears juicy, sometimes edible fruits", @sunnycrestfarmgirl ...what "sometimes edible" means I don't know....lol

The black current bushes on our farm give off a musty odor..the fruit is bitter but makes a fine jelly or cordial..i use them to make infused apple cider vinegars..they are loaded with anti oxidants and resveratrol because of their dark skin

The smell puts me off having one Carol. 😙😙😙

It does fruit but normally shrivel up before you really notice it @sunnycrestfarmgirl

I think the blooms are lovely Carol!

There is one that doesn't smell @pelly think it's Ribes king Edward v11

Thats good Carol. 😍😍
