Ribes lobbii is a deciduous, loosely branched shrub, about 0.5–1.5 metres (1+1⁄2–5 feet) in height. Its stems are spreading, finely hairy, generally having three slender nodal spines, 7–12 millimetres (1⁄4–1⁄2 inch) long. It has bark that starts out brown, changing to a deep greyish-red later. The leaves are borne on smooth stalks. Each leaf is 1.3–2.6 centimetres (1⁄2–1 in) long, 1.5–2.5 cm wide, alternate, ovate, shallowly heart-shaped at the base, shallowly cleft and deeply toothed, with 3–5 rounded lobes. The upper surface is tacky and glabrous (or very sparsely haired); the lower surface is somewhat tomentous and glandular. The flowers develop in early summer. They are arranged as inflorescences of one or two flowers in a nodding raceme on stalks that are shorter than the leaves. Each flower's stalk is 1.5–2 mm in length, densely bristled and glandular. The white or light-pink petals are 4–6 mm long, broad and fanlike, and curl back away from the flower-face, and towards the flower stem. The flower's hypanthium is typically 3.5–5.5 mm long, and shaped like a narrow bell. The anthers extend well beyond petals. The calyces are red and hairy, with 10–13 mm long lobes that are oblong and narrow, coming to a point. The styles are smooth, fusing to just below or just above the middle, about running equal to the stamens. The fruits of R. lobbii are 12–15 mm long, round to elliptic berries. They are reddish-brown, roughly bristled, and glandular. They are unpalatable.
