A new and distinct floricane fruiting red raspberry, Rubus idaeus L.,
variety is described. The variety results from selection among a
population of seedlings derived from controlled pollination crossing of
the raspberry varieties known as `Chilcotin` (not patented) and an
unreleased selection with the breeder code 86107O58 (not patented). The
fruit of this new variety has an attractive appearance characterized by
very shiny, mid light-red fruit color. The new variety is distinguished
from others by its high yields of firm and attractive conical shaped,
uniform sized, large, red berries that ripen in the mid season. The plant
exhibits a semi spine-free upright growth habit, of strong vigor. The new
variety appears suitable for the fresh fruit market and has been named
`Adele`.
