Ribes speciosum Grows well in Ballyrobert they are attached to aAbout this cultivar: Ribes speciosum, aka Fuchsia flowering or fuchsia flowering gooseberry, is a nearly evergreen shrub with red fuchsia like flowers after the foliage emerges. One of my favourite shrubs. This gooseberry has spiny stems and fruits and glossy dark green leaves. (The fruits look like red jewels.). The density of the plant makes it a perfect bird shelter from the neighborhood cat. This is a thorny plant, and often we don't propagate it
