Does anyone know where I might find some red raspberries? I know it is a bit late but I thought it was worth asking.

red raspberries?
Kim, this website may help you find some pick your own farms, although, it may be too early for them right now. I believe the June bearing ones bloom at about the same time as the dewberries and they are just now blooming.

If you are talking about plants, red raspberries are, I believe, a challenge in Texas. The variety I see most often at Lowe's is Heritage, and I got some decent fruit off of one vine last year, but it was in a container and I did not take care of it as I should have.
I planted my blackberry bushes in February by the way.

I actually was talking about plants....my parents lost one of theirs and was hoping to replace it.
Thanks, Kim
There are several choices of variety.
Dorman Red Raspberry
Heritage Raspberry
Latham Red
Baba
The only part of GardenWeb I check out these days is the Fruit & Orchards section.

JellyMan (Don Yellman) who is usually full of what seems to me to be very useful advice (have not had the opportunity to test much of it), doesn't think much of the commonly available Heritage or Latham varieties. I may try Baba next year. Not sure where I'm going to put it though!!
