Title: Raspberry Breeding in Canada: 1920 to 1995
Author: H. Daubeny
Abstract:
Canadian raspberry breeding programs, sponsored by public-sector agencies, have produced cultivars that
have been and continue to be successful not only in Canada but in raspberry-producing regions throughout
the world.
Particularly noteworthy are cultivars with high levels of winterhardiness and cultivars suited to
fresh market use.
Host of the programs have been significantly downsized or even eliminated in recent years.
This is unfortunate since it is more important than ever that there be new pest and disease-resistant cultivars
to meet the demands of an ever increasing range of raspberry end-products.
At least some of the genetic variability represented in these new cultivars must come from native Rubus populations.
