Summary

A late-season summer-bearing raspberry bred to fill the harvest gap between early summer and fall varieties.

Rubus 'Encore' was developed by the Cornell University Small Fruit Breeding Program and released in 1980 from a cross of Canby and Cherokee. Bred to ripen later in the summer-bearing window, Encore fills an important role for gardeners who want to extend fresh raspberry picking into late July and early August before everbearing varieties begin.

In late spring, the plants produce white blossoms that attract pollinators and develop into large, firm, bright red berries. The fruit has a balanced sweet flavor with enough depth to stand out in fresh eating, freezing, and preserves. The nearly thornless, erect canes are vigorous and productive, making Encore one of the more manageable raspberry varieties in the garden.

Encore also shows moderate tolerance to phytophthora root rot, giving it an edge in gardens where drainage is less than perfect.

Care

Encore Raspberry Care

Plant in full sun for the best berry production. Raspberry plants perform best with at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day.

Provide fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture during the growing season. While Encore shows some tolerance to root rot, good drainage is still important. Mulching with organic material helps conserve moisture and reduce weed competition.

Encore is a summer-bearing (floricane) variety, producing fruit on second-year canes. After harvest, remove the spent fruiting canes at ground level and allow new first-year canes to develop for the following season. Thin canes during late winter to maintain good airflow and strong production.

If desired, apply a light feeding of slow release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy cane development and fruit production.

What makes Encore different from other raspberry varieties?

Encore was bred at Cornell to ripen later in the summer-bearing season, bridging the gap between early summer raspberries and fall everbearing types. Its nearly thornless canes, large fruit, and moderate root rot tolerance distinguish it from older varieties.

Is Encore a summer-bearing or everbearing raspberry?

Encore is a summer-bearing (floricane-fruiting) raspberry. It produces fruit on second-year canes, with the harvest arriving in late July to early August in most climates.

Do Encore raspberry plants spread?

Raspberry plants naturally produce new canes from their roots, gradually expanding into productive berry patches if space allows. Regular management of suckers helps keep the planting tidy.

Encore raspberries work well in berry gardens, kitchen gardens, and edible landscapes. Explore more fruit-producing plants in our Berries and Fruit & Vegetable Plants collections.

Perfect for Organization and Super Efficient
Color: White
I got this label maker because I am going to be a teacher and needed an easy way to label and organize a lot of materials, and it has been perfect for that. It is very quick and efficient, and I was able to start using it right away without any issues. The labels come out clear, and the whole process is simple and convenient, especially when you have a lot to get done. I also really like how compact and easy to use it is, which makes it great for both classroom and home organization. Pros: • Very fast and efficient • Easy to set up and use • Great for organizing classroom materials • Compact and convenient • Great value for the price Overall: This is a great tool if you need to label and organize quickly. I would definitely recommend it, especially for teachers or anyone who likes to stay organized.

Works wonderfully, I'm obsessed with labeling!
Color: Green
This is super easy to set up and use. I love the color and the size. I didn't want a label maker that needed a whole drawer to live in. The print is great, I love the multiple font options. My only complaint is that the label paper cutter on this actually cuts it too short. So when you go to print the next label it believes there is no paper. For the price point, I'd say absolutely worth the purchase

Good, convenient and portable printer
Color: Green, Color: Green
This printer works great for my needs. The battery life has been good and the printer app functionality has worked without any issues. For me it is very easy to use and understand so overall I think it is a good, portable and convenient printer. However my one ad only issue is the labels get stuck and causes an error about 80% of the time meaning the label won’t print out unless I open it and realign it perfectly. That is a pain! I am contemplating returning it for a new one to see if it is just a design flaw or a printer issue so I am rating it 4 stars.

I’m officially old now, but at least my stuff is organized. (A truly im-press-ive gadget).
Color: Green
I hit 30 recently, and apparently, my birthday present from the universe was a sudden, overwhelming urge to organize my garage and pantry. I bought this Nelko P21 to help with the transition into full adulthood, and honestly, it’s been a blast to use. Setting it up was surprisingly painless. You just download the app on your phone, turn on Bluetooth, and it connects almost instantly. The app itself is straightforward—you don't need a tech degree to figure out how to change the fonts, add borders, or even insert little icons. Since it's a thermal printer, you never have to buy ink or deal with messy cartridges, which is a massive plus for me because I would absolutely find a way to spill it. The machine itself is tiny, basically the size of a couple of smartphone decks stacked together, so it doesn't take up any room in a drawer. The labels print fast, the text is sharp, and the adhesive on the tape that comes with it holds up well on plastic storage bins and glass jars. My only minor complaint is that the app forces you to look at a ton of font options, and a lot of them are locked behind a subscription or paywall, but the free, basic fonts are more than enough to label a box of spare cables or spice jars. If you've reached the stage of life where clean storage containers bring you joy, this thing is worth every penny.

Didn’t Expect to Use It This Much, Now I Reach for It Daily
Color: Black, Color: Black
I originally bought this label maker for a few simple tasks, but it quickly turned into something I use almost every day. As someone who manages multiple locations and stays organized across different responsibilities, having a quick and reliable way to label and categorize items makes a bigger impact than you’d think and this does exactly that. What stands out: Quick setup and easy Bluetooth connection. Compact design that’s easy to keep within reach. Clear, professional-looking labels. App gives enough flexibility without being complicated, allows you to create QR codes as well as functioning barcodes. One thing to note: There’s a short learning curve with the app, but nothing that slows you down after the first couple uses. Bottom line: If you value organization and efficiency, this is one of those small tools that quietly improves how you operate day to day.
