I'd recommend Caroline (superb flavor and productive, too) and Autumn
Bliss (very dependable and flavorful).  Since you live in a climate that
has a longer,growing season than here, Heritage would probably be an
excellent.  Royalty is an excellent purple, but I like it only processed
-- I do not like its flavor raw; it makes killer jam and ice cream
topping!  My favorite bramble nursery is Nourse Farms, which also sells
to commercial growers and whose catalog has lots of useful info. -- Sam

I'm in zone 5. We're looking at a red raspberry and a purple one, and  
maybe a golden one. We haven't decided exactly which yet. Maybe  
Heritage  and Royalty, and possibly Anne.

I'm open to suggestions as to what to order and where to order them  
from.
