Ribes Flowering Plant
Ribes Flowering Plant
Ribes Alpinum pumilum Aureum Flowering Plant
Golden Mountain Currant. The ordinary green form is a native of Britain, of which the plant named above is a dwarf golden-leaved variety.
Ribes Aureum Flowering Plant
Buffalo Currant. North-west America, 1812. In this species the leaves are lobed and irregularly toothed, while the flowers are yellow, or slightly reddish-tinted. It is of rather slender and straggling growth. Ribes aureum praecox is an early-flowering variety; and Ribes aureum serotinum is valued on account of the flowers being produced much later than are those of the parent plant.
Ribes Cerum Flowering Plant
North America, 1827. One of the dwarfer-growing species of Flowering Currant, forming a low, dense bush of Gooseberry-like appearance, but destitute of spines. By May it is in full flower, and the blooms, borne in large clusters, have a pretty pinkish tinge. The foliage is small, neat, and of a tender green that helps to set off the pretty flowers to perfection. It is a native of North-west America, and perfectly hardy in every part of the country. Though not equal in point of floral beauty with our common flowering Currant, still the miniature habit, pretty and freely-produced pink-tinted flowers, and fresh green foliage will all help to make it an acquisition wherever planted. Like the other species of Ribes the present plant grows and flowers very freely in any soil, and almost however poor.
Ribes Floridum Flowering Plant
American Wild Black Currant. North America, 1729. This should be included in all collections for its pretty autumnal foliage, which is of a bright purplish bronze.
Ribes Gordonianum Flowering Plant
A hybrid between Ribes aureum and Ribes sanguineum, and has reddish, yellow tinged flowers, and partakes generally of the characters of both species.
Ribes Multiflorum Flowering Plant
Eastern Europe (1822), is another desirable species, with long drooping racemes of greenish-yellow flowers, and small red berries.
Ribes Sanguineum Flowering Plant
Flowering Currant. North-west America, 1826. An old inhabitant of our gardens, and well deserving of all that can be said in its favour as a beautiful spring-flowering shrub. It is of North American origin, with deep red and abundantly-produced flowers. There are several distinct varieties as follows:--Ribes sanguineum flore-pleno (Burning Bush), with perfectly double flowers, which are produced later and last longer than those of the species; Ribes sanguineum album, with pale pink, or almost white flowers; Ribes sanguineum atro-rubens, with deeply-coloured flowers; Ribes sanguineum glutinosum and Ribes sanguineum grandiflorum, bearing compact clusters of flowers that are rosy-flesh coloured on the outside and white or pinky-white within.
Ribes Speciosum Flowering Plant
Fuchsia-flowered Gooseberry. California, 1829. A Californian species, remarkable for being more or less spiny, and with flowers resembling some of the Fuchsias. They are crimson, and with long, protruding stamens. As a wall plant, where it often rises to 6 feet in height, this pretty and taking species is most often seen.
The flowering Currants are of unusually free growth, and are not at all particular about soil, often thriving well in that of a very poor description. They are increased readily from cuttings and by layers.
