Yes, but might not want to grow the seed from the pumpkin you grow this year.

Cueball;
I had a ribbon vine on a female in 2010;I grew a nice pumpkin from it;I was told to get rid of the seeds;
I talked to a fellow grower about my ribbon vine and the
seeds; He told me, try them out good chance it wont ribbon.
He was right!! I have a nice 13 foot plant no ribbon;
I even put 2 more on my compost pile to grow, no ribbon?
This was my experience; its up to you
