Ribes encompasses both deciduous and evergreen shrubs, which may occasionally have spines. The leaves are typically simple and often palmately lobed. In the spring or summer, these plants produce small tubular or bell-shaped flowers, either solitary or arranged in racemes. Following the flowering period, they develop juicy berries, some of which are edible.
