Did they mean what we always used to call "flowering currant"?

I don't recall hearing about a flowering redcurrant before and since they
were talking about a decorative bush, flowering at this time of year, it
obviously wasn't the redcurrant which of course does have flowers but not
showy ones.

We used to have one outside our front door a few years ago. Smelt of cat pee
when you touched it. That's why it's not there now.

But is it the same as a 'flowering currant' - the one with hanging clusters
of pink flowers?

I was going to note the name down until Bob (t'was Bob, wasn't it?) said
the berries weren't edible.

Most new stuff here will have to be either edible or edible and
decorative as an incidental bonus. Lack of room.

Rocketing house-prices and this house at an attractive price made

Or red or white

I must have heard what I wanted on the prog as I thought they said red
flowering currant . but then it is something we often do....to end their
sentences before they do.......Guilty.

That's what I think they meant, but I didn't see the programme.
