The best varieties that work for us in a Zone 3 climate are

*Red River:* Medium red berries, canes sparsely spined, earliest cultivar.

*Double Delight:* Small, medium-red firm fruit, early.

*Summit:* Small to medium size, medium-red color fruit, canes have a few
scattered spines.

*Autumn Bliss:* Large, oval conical, dark red berries, canes spiny and
erect.

Red River and Double Delight are worth trying if you live in a zone 3
climate .
