Raspberries sprout from roots, so just get all the roots you can.  I worked
at a berry nursery years ago and when dormant raspberry plants were bundled,
the root mass was trimmed with a hatchet.  The pieces, many of which were
less than 1/8 in diameter, were gathered and stored in plastic bags in a
cooler.  In spring, rows were dug and the roots were spread in the row and
covered, and by fall the rows were thick with small diameter raspberry canes
that were used as planting stock.
