I live about 15 miles from a berry farm that specializes in red raspberries.  A few years back, I noticed a berry that had a balance of characteristics that I liked and wanted to plant.  I asked the people at the farm to help ID the berry, but they could not.  The problem was that they pick whatever is ripe from their collection for sale - there is always a mix of fruit when they are selling.

The berry in question is likely not an ever bearer, has a medium sized, noticeably firm berry.  It has an aromatic, sweet flavor with little or no tartness.  Can anybody suggest an  ID of this from my description?

Thanks
