I believe 'Crandall' is very resistant, possibly immune, but this varies
considerbly among other selections of clove currant.

Odd--I seem to recall reading that clove currant was immune to WPBR. I've
been nurturing a Ribes odoratum sucker I got from someone on this list and
it's ready to go into the ground next spring. Since I have some white
pines, maybe someone can confirm their susceptibility to the rust.
