Ribes odoratum
Ribes odoratum, also called yellow ribes, is a medium-sized deciduous shrub with a loose, rather irregular shape. the plant has oval, to almost round, three to five lobed, coarsely toothed, medium green to blue-green leaves. In April, fragrant golden-yellow flowers appear in erect racemes, followed in summer by dark purple, cassis-like, edible berries. Ribes odoratum likes a position in full sun, but tolerates shade well, is undemanding to the soil as long as it is well drained. The plant is very hardy, drought, sea wind and air pollution tolerant. In excessively wet growing conditions it may suffer from leaf spot disease, anthracnose and rust.
