Three possible diseases are root rot caused by Phytopthora, Botrytis or White Pine Blister Rust.

You should take a twig and soil sample to a Master Gardener clinic. Google your county name and “Master Gardener” or “Extension”.
Good luck!

My ribes s. has stopped developing beyond bud level, which buds have been showing for months. This plant has been robust for the last few seasons having grown from a 2.5-ft potted plant to over 6 ft. in the yard. This problem occured last year to one stem out of 5 or 6 1/4″-3/8″ stems arising out of 2 main 1″ “trunks.” Last year’s affected stem was removed then and seemed dead. Now I am concerned the whole plant has died or otherwise has been affected. A scion planted about 40 ft away in same soil and conditions is doing fine. Any ideas. Thank you for any help you may provide. rh
