I recently bought some Red Lake Currants.  They have the same distinctive 
smell that my European black currants have, and I'd never heard that red 
currants had that.  Do the red currants have that smell, or is it likely that 
they are mislabeled?   I should find out this year in any case, since they 
are pushing some flower buds.Muffy BarrettSsssouthern WISpring is taunting us 
with sleet, rain, and snow today.  And lots of wind.

I bet you got a mislabeled black currant.  I've grown feral seedlings of Red 
Lake, and I've grown Red Start and Jonkheers van Tet, and none have had that 
distinctive black currant smell.
