This species has a brilliant flower compared to Currants grown for their fruit. Berry is edible, but disgusting. The species can be invasive outside of the native range and many states limit import. This is a naturally occurring culitvar of Ribes sanguineum collected by the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon.
