The Geneva Experiment Station in Geneva, New York released this raspberry variety in 1982. The most popular purple raspberry variety today, Royalty is very productive. The canes are thorny and long. The fruit is large, of high quality, and is the sweetest of all the purple raspberries. Good for fresh eating and excellent for jams and jellies. Royalty can be picked slightly immature as a firm red berry. Eludes spring frost damage, as it is a late-season variety. It has multiple insect resistances, including immunity to raspberry aphid, which should help to extend the productive life of the planting.

Planted these last yea. The plugs arrived in great shape and took off right away. This year, the plants are very strong and beautiful in my opinion and quite distinct looking from other varieties we grow. Unfortunately I am not at all a fan of the flavour as they seem to be significantly lacking in sugars. I've tried them at all stages - red is best but the flavour really declines as they get closer to purple. We are growing them alongside Joan J, Polka, Double Gold and Bristol and these are by far the least sweet. Might be ok in a jam but for me not at all an eating berry.
