'''''Ribes''''' is a [[genus]] of about 150 species of [[flowering plants]], usually treated as the only genus in the family '''Grossulariaceae'''. The genus is native throughout the temperate regions of the [[Northern Hemisphere]].

'''''Ribes''''' is a [[genus]] of about 150 species of [[flowering plants]], usually treated as the only genus in the family '''Grossulariaceae'''. The genus is native throughout the temperate regions of the [[Northern Hemisphere]].
+
''Ribes'' includes the currants, including the edible currants ([[blackcurrant]], [[redcurrant]] and [[whitecurrant]]), [[gooseberry|gooseberries]], and many [[ornamental plant]]s. The ''Ribes'' currant should not be confused with the [[Zante currant]] [[grape]].
 +
 +
Seven [[subgenus|subgenera]] are recognised.  A few taxonomists place the gooseberry species in a separate genus, ''Grossularia'', despite the [[Jostaberry]] gooseberry/blackcurrant [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrid]].
 +
 
 +
There are restrictions on growing ''Ribes'' species in many US states as they are a host for [[White Pine Blister Rust]].

{{Inc|
 +
Ribes (probably derived from ribas, the Arabic name for Rheum Ribes,
 +
or by some supposed to be the Latinized form of riebs, an old German
 +
word for currant). Saxifragaceae. Currant. Gooseberry. Woody plants
 +
partly grown for their edible fruits and partly for their handsome
 +
flowers, fruits, or foliage.
 +
 
 +
Unarmed or prickly shrubs with deciduous or rarely evergreen foliage:
 +
lvs. alternate, often fascicled, simple, usually palmately lobed and
 +
mostly plaited in the bud: fls. perfect or in some species dioecious,
 +
5-merous, rarely 4-merous, in many-fld. to few-fld. racemes, or
 +
solitary; calyx-tube cylindric to rotate, like the sepals usually
 +
colored; petals usually smaller than the sepals, often minute, rarely
 +
entirely wanting; stamens alternating with the petals, shorter or
 +
longer than the sepals; ovary inferior, 1-celled; styles 1 or 2 (Fig.
 +
3401): fr. a many-seeded pulpy berry, crowned by the remains of the
 +
calyx. —About 150 species in the colder and temperate regions of N.
 +
and S. Amer., N. and Cent. Asia, Eu., and N. Afr. The genus is
 +
sometimes divided into two: the true Ribes with usually unarmed sts.,
 +
racemose fls., and jointed pedicels, and Grossularia (p. 1414) with
 +
prickly sts.; fls. solitary or in short 2-4-fld. racemes and with the
 +
pedicels not jointed. The most recent monograph of the genus is by
 +
Janczewski, Monographie des Groseilliers, 1907 (originally published
 +
in Mem. Soc. Phys. Nat. Hist. Geneve, 35:199-517, with 202 figs.),
 +
with important supplements in Bull. Acad. Sci. Cracovic, ser. B,
 +
1910-13. The N. American species are treated by Coville & Britton in
 +
North American Flora, 22:193-225 (1908) under the two genera Ribes and
 +
Grossularia. There are also descriptions and figures of the more
 +
important species in Card's Bush Fruits, 444-84, figs. 80-109 (1911).
 +
 
 +
The currants and gooseberies are usually low, upright or less often
 +
procumbent deciduous, rarely evergreen shrubs with prickly or unarmed
 +
branches, small or medium-sized usually lobed leaves, with rather
 +
small solitary or racemose flowers often greenish or reddish and
 +
insignificant, but in some species white or brightly colored in shades
 +
of red, scarlet, orange or yellow; the fruits also are often
 +
attractive and either black, purple, scarlet, yellowish or greenish.
 +
The flowers appear in spring with the leaves, and the fruits ripen in
 +
June or July, but in R. fasciculatum they do not mature until
 +
September and remain on the branches all winter. Most species are
 +
hardy North except the evergreen ones; also R. sanguineum, R. Roezlii,
 +
R.
 +
Lobbii, R. viscosissimum are not quite hardy North. The tender R.
 +
speciosum with fuchsia-like bright red flowers is perhaps the most
 +
showy species of the genus, though also R. sanguineum, R. odoratum, R.
 +
Gordonianum, R. Roezlii, R. Lobbii, R. pinetorum, R. cereum, R.
 +
inebrians, R. niveum, and others are handsome in bloom, while some, as  
 +
R. alpinum and R. fasciculatum, have ornamental scarlet fruits. They
 +
are well adapted for borders of shrubberies and, particularly the
 +
procumbent kinds, for planting on slopes. R. alpinum is excellent for
 +
shady places and as undergrowth. R. alpestre, a strong-growing and
 +
very spiny gooseberry from western China, may prove valuable as a
 +
hedge-plant. Many species bear edible fruits; the most important are
 +
the domestic currant, R. vulgare, and the European gooseberry, R.
 +
Grossularia; of less importance are the black currant, R. nigrum, the
 +
Buffalo or Missouri currant, R. odoratum, the European R. rubrum and
 +
some of the American gooseberries, as R. hirtellum, R. Cynosbati, R.
 +
oxyacanthoides, R. setosum, R. inerme. These plants are mostly of easy
 +
cultivation; they grow in any moderately good loamy soil, the  
 +
gooseberries preferring as a rule drier and sunnier positions, while
 +
the currants like more humidity and grow well in partly shaded
 +
situations. Propagation is by seeds which germinate readily; also by
 +
hardwood cuttings in autumn and by greenwood cuttings in summer under
 +
glass; mound-layering in summer is sometimes practised; budding or
 +
grafting is usually resorted to only, if quick propagation of rare
 +
varieties is desired. In Europe, currants and gooseberries are
 +
sometimes grafted high on R. odoratum trained to one stem, to form
 +
little standard trees. See also Currant and Gooseberry for
 +
cultivation.
