Product Description
Ribes rubrum 'Rovada' is highly regarded by gardeners and growers as one of the finest redcurrant varieties available. Developed in the Netherlands, it offers impressive yields combined with excellent fruit quality. The berries are translucent red, striking in appearance, and form on long, elegant strigs that make harvesting straightforward and enjoyable.
This cultivar crops from mid-July through August, providing an excellent extension to the traditional soft fruit season. The sweet yet tangy berries are versatile and ideal for making jams, jellies, sauces, or enjoyed fresh over desserts. The bush itself has a neat, manageable form, growing to approximately 1.5m tall with a 2m spread, making it suitable for borders, fruit cages, or edible gardens.
The plant thrives in full sun with moist, well-drained soil and adapts well to various soil types, including clay, loam, and sand. Its hardy nature (H6 rating) makes it well suited to UK conditions, ensuring a dependable fruit harvest year after year.
