Wine raspberry is a vigorous, cane-forming shrub prized for its attractive red-bristled stems and sweet-tart raspberries. Plant in a sunny to partly shaded spot with fertile, well-drained soil, and provide a trellis or fence for support. Prune out old fruiting canes after harvest each year to keep the plant productive and tidy.
