Hi Anton,
I have a few of them in SW Ohio, zone 6a.  They don't ripen all their fruit
for me here; they still have some fruit on them when we get a good hard
frost.  The plants are hardy, true, but I second the guess that you wouldn't
have a long enough season to get a full crop.
And they are wickedly thorny!

Anton, from everything I've read, neither ripens its fruit early enough in
the season to be productive as far north as you are. -- Sam

on the subject of blackberries, i was considering a trial planting of 
the supposedly hardy prime jim or prime jan, offered through nourse 
farms.  i know a couple growers who have recently planted as a trial 
planting but don't think they've had enough time in the ground for an 
assessment.  anyone tried these varieties in the northern climes yet 
with any results to speak of?
