The gardener in this house, (not me), is trying to get hold of ribes
(rubus?) benenden. Having failed with all her usual local suppliers, she is
now casting her net wider. Does anyone know of a possible source within 15
miles or so of Coventry, or a possible on-line source?

How about

Doesn't matter where they are if you trust mail order.

Like you Lynton, I am the labourer and the purveyor of messages and

I'm supprised that no one has given you the correct name for the plant
you are looking for.
Its Rubus (tridel) Benenden
http://www.shootgardening.co.uk/plant/rubus-benenden
I've grown it for years, will get rather stragly if left alone, but
well worth growing.
