Ribes odoratum Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Easily grown in a moisture retentive but well-drained loamy soil of at least moderate quality[11, 200]. Prefers full sun but it is quite tolerant of shade though it does not fruit so well in such a position[11]. Hardy to about -25°c[184]. A very ornamental plant[1]. The flowers are deliciously clove-scented[245]. This species is closely allied to R. aureum[11, 200]. Occasionally cultivated for its edible fruit, there are some named varieties[183]. The period of fruit ripening is unusually long[183]. The cultivar 'Crandall' has large edible fruits with a tart-sweet flavour that are high in pectin[200]. This species succeeds in regions having hot summers[183]. The fruits can be red, black, yellow, golden or reddish-brown[164]. Plants often produce suckers, especially when growing in damp soils. Plants can harbour a stage of white pine blister rust, so should not be grown in the vicinity of pine trees[155]. Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[200].
