Properly organized planting and compliance with the rules for the care of raspberries - these are the main components of the future successful and rich berry harvest. Not all raspberry species are suitable for growing in the harsh climatic conditions of Siberia, but only those that are characterized by high winter hardiness, since not only severe cold winters are observed in these regions, but also spring frosts.
Below we consider the most varied berries varieties that are most adaptable to the conditions of a sharp continental climate.
"Barnaul"
This raspberry variety, resistant to low air temperatures and frosts, was bred during research trials at the M.A. Lisavenko from such varieties as "Viking" and "Usanka". The bush form is not very sprawling with one-year-old stems, and its height reaches 1.5-2 meters. The ripening period is not early or late, but the berry harvest is small and medium (1.7-2.7 g), distinguished by the brightness of red fruits. 
The plant has thin shoots of light green color, distinguished by wax coating, corrugated leaves of medium size and small thin spikes. Characteristic advantages "Barnaul" raspberries: high winter hardiness, drought tolerance, universal purpose. The disadvantages are the unsuitability for transportation and increased berry precipitation, as well as low resistance to pests and diseases.
Did you know? In Latin, the name of the berry, taking its roots from ancient times, sounds like Ruus idaeus. The first word indicates the color of the fruit, and the second was assigned in honor of Ida (nymph, nurse of Zeus). According to ancient mythology, when Ida wanted to feed the baby with sweet berries, she scratched her hands on the thorns of the shrub, painting the natural cream color of the fruit with the color of her blood.
"Brilliant"
This cultivar of large-fruited raspberries for cultivation in Siberia was created by crossing species such as Cumberland and Molling Landmark. The height of the bush is characterized by averages and reaches 1.3-1.5 meters. The ripening period is medium, the berries are large (2.6-5.6 g), shiny, dark red. Dense pulp will delight you not only with its pleasant taste, but also with sufficient ease in harvesting. Thorns grow only at the bottom of the stems. 
Distinctive features: frost resistance, endurance of droughts, decay, immunity to diseases and pests, as well as universal target definition.
For the successful cultivation of raspberries it is necessary: to plant correctly (in spring or autumn), feed, trim, protect from diseases and pests and prepare for winter.
"Vera"
The originator of the variety is the same Institute of horticulture of Siberia named after MA. Lisavenko, and the sources of its creation were varieties "Kaliningradskaya", "Barnaul" raspberries, as well as the universal species "Novost Kuzmina". The shape of the shrub is half sprawling, the plant is of medium size. The ripening period is early, and the harvest includes small and medium-sized berries (1.8-2.7 g) of purple color and sweet-sour taste. The leaves on the shoots are distinguished by a dense disposition, and thorns are along the entire length of the stems. 
The disadvantages of the variety are low resistance to frost, that is, the need for shelter in the winter, as well as a low level of drought tolerance and poor transportability. Appointment raspberry "Faith" - technical.
Did you know? In 1893, a purple variety of berries was artificially bred in Switzerland (Geneva) by crossing black and red raspberries.
"Gift of Siberia"
The unique variety of dessert destination "Gift of Siberia" was created using inbreeding and is a breeding representative of a selective form of black raspberry black. Spreading and powerful bushes with one- and two-year shoots reach a great height (2.4-2.8 m). It ripens late, and ripened berries have a small and medium size (1.6-2.0 g), bright cream shade, high density and dessert taste. The leaves of large parameters and green hue differ wrinkled surface, annual shoots have a green color and wax coating, and biennial - light brown shade. 
Exceptional features of the form: high immunity to frost, disease and pests, good tolerance of transportation. This is the best of the representatives of a few varieties of remontant raspberries, practiced in cultivation in Siberia.
Important! Remontrance is one of the characteristics of the crop, thanks to which the latter can continue to bloom or fruiting on both annual and biennial shoots (in the case of raspberries, this quality allows you to collect another crop of berries per year, only on new shoots).
"Siberian Light"
Raspberry "Spark of Siberia" was bred by mixing the variety "Biychanka" with a hybrid of raspberry and blackberry (Reshetnikov's hybrid) with the help of experimental research. The purpose of the variety is characterized by technical focus. Shrubs have a tendency to increased shoot function and reach a great height. The ripening period is late, and the berries are medium and large (2.6-3.5 g), having a red color and a weak taste. Characteristic characteristics of the variety are the need for shelter in the winter season, resistance to most viral diseases and pests, as well as high and stable yields. 
Learn more about such raspberry varieties as: “Maroseyka”, “Meteor”, “Bryansk miracle”, “Patricia”, “Polka”, “Hercules”, “Brusviana”, “Khimbo Top”, “Monomakh's Hat”, and also about raspberry trees: "Tarus", "Fortress" and "Fairy Tale".
"Reward"
This raspberry variety was created in the conditions of the domestic Botanical Garden of the Agrarian University in Nizhny Novgorod. The view of the shrub is open thanks to the varieties "Kolkhoz Woman" and "Lloyd George". The shape of the plant is semi-sprawling, with a small number of shoots, the height varies between 1.5-2 meters. Stems - annual, thin, medium-sized, with wrinkled coating and spinousness on the bottom. The raspberry harvest of an average ripening period is represented by a small-sized berries (2-3 g) with a weak reddish tinge, dessert taste and universal purpose. 
Distinctive characteristics are medium resistance to frost, excellent tolerance to drying out soil and dry air, and the disadvantage is poor resistance to diseases.
Did you know? For the first time raspberry repair was discovered 200 years ago.
"Early Sweet"
This variety of berries was bred in the north-west of the European part of the Russian Federation, in the taiga. The height of the half-stretched bush with a few offsprings reaches 2.5 meters. Annual shoots have a waxy coating, large leaves with a weak wrinkled surface and small spines. Small size (1.4-1.6 g), red berries with a pleasant sweet taste and pronounced aroma ripen, according to the name, early. Despite the good frost resistance characteristics, unfortunately, not all diseases are tolerated by the plant normally, and the berries are not transportable. 
All of the above leads to the conclusion that even very promising raspberry varieties will be able to let you down in joyful expectations if you do not comply with the agrotechnics of planting and growing berries, which is why it is necessary to specify the ability to adapt the variety to certain climatic conditions. The above species were bred specifically for the Siberian edges, but this does not mean at all that they will benefit from the same care as regular raspberries.
Important! The most dangerous pests of raspberries today are: gray rot, ticks, purple blotch, root cancer and witch brooms, as well as insect-only raspberry insects - the raspberry beetle, aphid, moth, and stem fly.
Basic rules for growing raspberries in Siberia:
- high level of soil fertility, moderate humidity (saline or marshy areas should be avoided, as well as heavy clay soil);
- planting can be carried out both in spring and in autumn (if this event falls on the autumn season, it is best to hold it 3-4 weeks before the onset of the first cold weather);
- Planting raspberries in an ordinary way with respect to the distance between them up to 2 m is one of the best methods in agricultural technology for growing these berries (pits are dug out with a diameter of 30 cm, and the distance between them must be at least 60 cm);
- the removal of weeds (along with excess plant sprouts), rare, but abundant, irrigation, as well as loosening of the soil - one of the main prerequisites for successful fruiting shrubs;
Important! Among other frost-resistant raspberry varieties that easily adapt to the conditions of the Siberian climate are the following: "Hercules", "Cumberland", "Yellow Giant", "Pride of Russia".
- feeding raspberries should be done through the use of several different stages: in the spring the berry likes nitrogen fertilizers; in the period when the flowers appear and the ripening of the fruits begins, mineral complexes will be useful (well, if it is nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus); after harvest, the plant is fertilized with a phosphate-potassium mixture, and by the end of the vegetation period - only with phosphorus nutrition;
- weak shoots, as well as those shoots that have fulfilled their function of fruiting, must be cut almost at the very surface of the soil in the spring.
It is important to consider that when planting berries, an important role is played not only by the choice of raspberry variety, taking into account the soil ratio of the site, the characteristic temperature and climatic conditions of the planned growing region, but also compliance with the basic rules for crop care.
