A new and distinct Rubus idaeus L. plant is provided that is the product
of a controlled breeding program. The new Raspberry plant abundantly
forms attractive conical-shaped Claret Rose fruit which is lighter in
coloration than that of the `Autumn Bliss` cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No.
6,597) when mature. The new cultivar displays spiney stems and canes
unlike the `Joan Squire` cultivar (non-patented in the United States).
The fruit is very firm and is firmer than that of the `Autumn Bliss`
cultivar, and is well suited for consumption as high grade fresh fruit.
The very firm nature of the mature fruit is advantageous during harvest,
shipment, and marketing.
