Mystery Berries!

Can anyone help identify this berry plant? I bought it for 3 dollars at a rummage sale with the tag "Berry Bush". It has teeny, prickly thorns. I tried to get a close up of the leaves but it was dark so they're not as great as they could be. Let me know what you think :)

  1. My vote is blackberries! (Thanks to a little Google image search.) Liz - you're totally inspiring me to try gardening next summer!

  2. They are either blackberries or raspberries. Blackberries will need to climb something. I put mine along a fence and I use plastic coated garden wire to attach the canes to the fence. Raspberries also benefit from some support.

  3. Yay for either kind of berry! I'm going to pot them and find some sort of something for it to climb up. Thanks for your expertise :)
