I can tell you from experience that gooseberries are fond of walnut trees, 
and so I would suspect by extension all ribes.

The gooseberries have formed an inpenetrable phylanx around two walnut 
saplings.  Every year I mean to fight my way through and cut down those 
saplings and 
subjugate the gooseberries.  Like the 300 Spartans they have withstood all 
attacks.  Worthy opponents, they.
