Stick's leaf form is dominant, so make it the pollen donor. Then, any seeds from the mother that show Stick foliage are successful crosses and you can see it early in the seedlings.

You could cross it with a multiflora such as reisentraube to get tastier, more productive Stick-leaved plants. Or you could cross it with a heart to get adorable heart-fruited poodles. Or cross it with Post Office Spoonful currant to see what comes out. It might grow bigger and the smaller fruit might suit the plant better. Or do a bunch of them; a little pollen goes a long way...
