Summary

Rubus deliciosus, commonly known as Delicious Raspberry, is a deciduous perennial subshrub native to rocky slopes, open woodlands, and canyon areas in the Rocky Mountains and the Southwestern USA. It typically grows to a height of 4-5 feet and a width of 3-4 feet, with arching stems and a somewhat sprawling habit. The plant is notable for its large, white flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer, which are considered quite showy and can be up to 2 inches across. The flowers give way to small, non-edible aggregate fruits.

Delicious Raspberry is valued for its attractive flowers and its ability to thrive in a garden setting with minimal care. It is often used in naturalistic plantings, rock gardens, and as a component of wildlife gardens due to its appeal to pollinators. While it prefers full sun to part shade, it is adaptable to a range of light conditions. It requires medium amounts of water and well-drained soil to flourish. This plant is relatively low-maintenance but can be susceptible to rust and other fungal diseases. It is not known for aggressive roots or significant invasiveness, making it a good choice for residential gardens.CC BY-SA 4.0
