I've done it.  Stratification takes from two to four months.  Some species may need double stratification - cold for two months, warm for a month   or  more, then back into the refrigerator for another two months.  Germination was low.   I was working with old seed, though, so fresh may do better.   
I assume you are trying to breed new varieties as they  don't come true from seed.
Rooting cuttings is the way to propagate an existing variety.

Anyone raising gooseberry plants from seeds?  Do you have to chill
seeds before planting?   What about currant seeds?
