Cut out the old growth and leave in the new to fruit next year

Is that true of both summer and autumn fruiters? I am unsure but autumn
ones need to be cut off 3" above ground because they fruit on new canes,
and summer ones fruit on last years canes?

I need to know this too. I have ordered both summer and autumn varieties.

Which found that most autumn raspberries will produce a summer crop as
well. (without affecting the autumn one). Cut down any cane that
finishes fruiting now but not later. The summer ones will fruit on the
new canes. The autumn ones will fruit again on the current canes in the
summer and on the new canes in the autumn.
