There's a few listed here to have at https://www.chrisbowers.co.uk/catego...oned+varieties
I'm hoping to find Early Sulphur for sale locally, as a good sort I used to grow.
Be aware, it may be difficult to buy gooseberry bushes now at a reasonable price, since its a bit late for bare root sales.
Best to think of gooseberries as small apple trees from the POV of growing - they need well drained soil and sensible pruning to establish a branch structure. -
You could look into the RHS AGM varieties listed here,I can’t remember the names of mine but I don’t know if they’re the best out there,I used to just take AGM lists to the garden centre with me
