Raspberry Plants & Canes

Grow your own raspberries with our range of raspberry plants and canes. These soft, flavour-packed fruits, known botanically as Rubus idaeus, come in traditional red, blushing pink, and even rare golden varieties.

Raspberry plants are tough, easy to grow, and great for the UK weather. They do well in garden beds, borders, or big raspberry planters, and they also do well in small patio spaces. At Carbeth Plants, we have affordable bare-root raspberry canes that are great for planting early in the season, as well as potted raspberry plants that will add colour and fruit to your garden later in the year.

Why Buy Raspberry Plants from Carbeth Plants?

Quality runs through everything we do here at Carbeth Plants. How we grow the plants, how we select them individually, how we pack them properly for delivery—every step matters. Our raspberry plant range is designed specifically for UK gardens, with each cane balanced for strength, reliable yield, and genuine flavour that makes growing them worthwhile.

Grown locally for local conditions: All our Rubus raspberry plants are grown right here in the UK. They're adapted to our weather—they work whether you're in a cool northern plot or a sunnier southern garden. No imported plants that sulk in British conditions.

Options that suit different situations: Bare root canes if you want affordability and don't mind planting during dormancy. Potted raspberry plants, if you need something that settles in quicker. Both have strong root systems that actually work.

Chosen for taste and reliability: We pick varieties known for brilliant flavour, steady crops year after year, and decent disease resistance. There's no point in growing raspberries that taste like cardboard or fall apart at the first sign of trouble.

Properly healthy plants: Every order gets inspected before leaving. We check for strong growth, healthy canes, and zero pests lurking in the roots. Basic stuff, but surprisingly rare.

Packed to survive the journey: Plants stay protected and hydrated while travelling to you. Arrive ready to plant immediately, not gasping for life after sitting in boxes too long.

When you buy raspberry plants from Carbeth Plants, you're getting help and advice from actual gardeners who want you to succeed, not just shift stock.

Seasonal Interest: Fruit and Colour All Year

Raspberry plants give you something worth watching every season. From first green shoots in spring right through to last autumn fruit, they keep gardens interesting with colour, movement, and promise all year long.

Spring: New canes push through with fresh green growth. This is when you know last year's plants survived winter properly.

Summer: Summer-fruiting varieties burst into bright, sweet red berries. Peak raspberry season is when you're picking bowlfuls daily.

Autumn: Autumn-fruiting canes deliver colour and flavour late in the season. Perfect for jam making when other soft fruit's finished.

Winter: Canes rest completely, storing energy underground for another productive year ahead. Dormant period doesn't mean they're done.

Plant the right mix of early and late varieties, and you'll harvest homegrown raspberries from June straight through to October. Proper value from one patch.

How to Grow & Care for Raspberry Plants

Raspberries are very easy to grow and even easier to love. Once they grow, they are tough, strong, and always giving, making bowl after bowl of delicious berries.

Planting: Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with soil that is rich and well-drained. When you plant bare-root raspberry canes, do it between November and March and leave about 45 cm between each cane.  You can put raspberry plants in pots at any time of year.

Watering: Keep the soil moist, especially when it's dry and when the fruit is ripening.  Instead of watering a little bit every day, water deeply once or twice a week.

Feeding: Use a general-purpose fertiliser in the early spring and compost to keep the soil moist around the base.

Pruning: After you pick summer-fruiting raspberries, cut back the old canes. You can cut back autumn-fruiting types all the way to the ground every winter to get new growth.

Support: For better airflow and easier picking, tie canes to wires or trellises.

If you take good care of your raspberry bushes, they can give you lots of berries for up to ten years. Every year, you'll get bowls of sweet, sun-warmed berries.

Frequently Asked Questions

The main stem of a raspberry plant that grows from the roots is called a cane. It's where the fruit grows, and every year new canes grow to take the place of old ones.
When the plants are dormant, from November to March, is the best time to plant bare root raspberry canes. You can plant raspberry plants in pots any time of year.
Don't plant raspberries close to potatoes, tomatoes, or peppers because they can spread diseases that hurt canes. Plants that get along with each other, like garlic, chives, or marigolds, do well next to each other.
In October, cut back the canes that are no longer growing, clean up the rows, and add a layer of compost around the base. This helps the plants relax and get ready for spring.
Healthy raspberry bushes can keep making fruit for 8 to 10 years if you take care of them and prune them.
Yes, raspberry planters or large pots work well as long as they have good drainage and a lot of compost.
