Raspberry plant named ‘Josephine’

Abstract

The present invention is a new and distinct fall bearing red raspberry cultivar named "Josephine', which is capable of producing fruit on primocanes, the fruit being larger, with tougher skin and more cohesive than that of the standard cultivars. The cultivar is characterized by moderate suckering ability and its large, round and extremely symmetrical fruit which ripens later than standard cultivars. Most drupelets tear apart rather than separate from each other and it is common to observe perfectly curvilinear rows of drupelets, i.e. along the latitudinal circumference of the fruit.

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A new and distinct fall bearing red raspberry plant known as ‘Josephine’ as described herein, illustrated and identified by the characteristics set forth above.
