Abstract
The new and distinct cultivar of raspberry (i.e., Rubus idaeus L.) is provided. The cultivar forms attractive large bright red berries of good flavor in exceptionally high yields on long fruiting laterals. The drupelet cohesion tends to be somewhat reduced when the plant is grown in cooler climates (e.g., Scotland). The plant exhibits a spine-free very upright growth habit of good vigor. The berries are suitable for consumption as high grade fresh fruit and also are amenable to processing. Additionally, the plant has displayed resistance to Amphorophora idaei aphid virus vector.
