Habitat:  Forests, mainly coniferous, forest edges, river banks and amongst shrubs[74].

Cultivation Notes: Easily grown in a moisture retentive but well-drained loamy soil of at least moderate quality[11, 200]. Plants are quite tolerant of shade though do not fruit so well in such a position[11]. Hardy to about -20°c[200]. Plants can harbour a stage of 'white pine blister rust', so they should not be grown in the vicinity of pine trees[155]. Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[200]. This species is closely allied to R. spicatum[200]. Along with R. petraeum and R. rubrum, this species is one of the parents of the cultivated redcurrants[74].
