Common raspberry (lat. Rúbus idáeus) - shrub; species of the genus Rubus of the Rosaceae family. Grows in forests, shrubs, river banks. Often bred in gardens. Common raspberry is a deciduous subshrub with a perennial rhizome, from which two-year aerial stems 1.5–2.5 m high develop. The rhizome is sinuous, woody, with multiple adventitious roots forming a powerful branched system. The fruits are small hairy drupes fused on the receptacle into a complex fruit. The fruits are usually red in color (from pink to deep burgundy).
