'Rolan' is a fantastic mid-season variety, consistently yielding large, grape-like clusters of shiny red currants.
Harvest the juicy berries in July for making jellies, jams, and hot baked desserts, or simply enjoy them fresh from the bush.
The currants offer a complex flavour, blending a subtle sweetness with a bold, refreshing tartness.
This versatile plant can be grown as a traditional bush pruned into a goblet shape, or trained as a space-saving fan or cordon.
Being self-fertile, 'Rolan' is a reliable cropper and does not need a pollination partner to produce fruit.

Species: Redcurrant
Features: Self fertile, Colourful berries & fruits
Flowering Time: March, April, May
Harvest Time: July
Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Flower Colour: Diminutive greenish-yellow flowers appear on the plant in the spring.
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Habit: An attractive fruiting shrub with an upright habit, grown as either a bush or cordon.
Eventual Spread: Spreads approximately 1-1.4m.
Hardiness: Hardy. This redcurrant variety will be able to withstand even harsh UK winters.
Soil Type: Any moist, well-drained soil.
Tasting Notes: A wonderful balance of sweet and tart.
Uses: Eating fresh, jellies and baking.

Planting: Plant 1-1.4m apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Redcurrant plants like a good watering when they're newly planted to help them establish. Beyond this, they don't really need additional watering, save for especially hot, dry spells.
Feeding: During the springtime, apply a fertiliser that's high in potassium to encourage greater growth. Container-grown plants will require more regular feeding with a liquid feed (all-purpose in early spring, and then high potassium in summer).
Pruning: Redcurrants benefit from being pruned twice per year, once in late winter and then again in summer (this second prune is particularly important for fan and cordon-trained plants).
Pest & Disease Resistance: Redcurrant plants like 'Rolan' are generally unaffected by pests or disease, but there are a few to look out for. On the pest side of things, watch out for aphids, sawflies and scale insects. In terms of disease, keep an eye out for grey mould, mildew and leaf spot.
