'Caroline' raspberry (Rubus idaeus 'Caroline') is a shrub for food gardens, hedges, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows in an arching shape and bears white flowers in spring, summer, and autumn. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit the blooms. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
