This is pretty but I assume is not particularly good. Anyone know what it is?

I don't think that's a raspberry. It looks more like Rubus cockburnianus to me, an ornamental bramble which has that silvery bloom on the canes in winter...

Hello. Thanks for replying. I think it's on two different canes. One is Glen Coe and the other might well be an ornamental bramble, which would explain why the fruit are a bit rubbish (not a patch on the non-ormanental, luscious-fruited bramble which a gardener once got rid of for me...), but it was sold to me as a black raspberry.
But I think maybe the same phenomenon. What threw me was that I thought it was on two different plants. I need to go and check. (I have a sticking back door, so it takes time...!) Thanks again.
