The genus Rubus is a very complex one, containing 13 subgenera, the largest of which, subgenus Rubus, is further subdivided into 12 sections:
Genus Rubus, the Brambles, with Dewberries, Raspberries, and Thimbleberry.
Most Rubus seeds require, as a minimum, warm stratification at 68 º to 86 º F for 90 days, followed by cold stratification at 36º to 41º F for an additional 90 days.
These conditions are frequently encountered naturally as seeds mature in summer and remain in the soil through the cold winter months.

THE NECTAR RASPBERRY, RUBUSIDAEUS X RUBUS ARCTICUS - A NEW CULTIVATED PLANT
Since 1939, the Institute of Horticulture of Agricultural Research Centre has been engaged in breeding a hybrid between the raspberry (Rubusidaeus L.) and the nectarberry (Rubus arcticus L.).
The aim has been to develop a plant possessing the flavour of the nectarberry, but as easy to cultivate as the raspberry.
There are two categories of red raspberries (Rubusidaeus), the common raspberry, which ripens in early to midsummer and the so called ever bearing raspberry.
Unlike ever bearing strawberries which produce fruit continuously over the summer, the ever bearing raspberry produces an early-summer crop on the previous season's growth and a fall crop on the current season's growth.
