Too long a Q at the gardening check-out, so couldn't enquire. The
varieties
FWIW : Malling General Leo, Malling Jewel, Glen Prosen and Glen Clova.

In my experience Leo is one of the best tasting commercial rasperries, but
I've found it susceptible to disease. Malling Jewel is a good cropper, but
fruit taste is a bit bland. I've not (knowingly) tasted the 2 glens
mentioned.

Glen Clova is a good flavoursome raspberry and freezes well. Usually
summer-fruiting, but can be fooled into autumn-fruiting by cutting them
down at the requisite time. (Allegedly)
