That sorta depends. Are you buying something from a green house that may not be acclimated to the weather? Whenever I try to buy something that comes from a store I find that they are "ahead" of plants that are already in my
yard. Because they are a little bit ahead, they are not always ready for the cold weather so depending on what it is, I might not plant it right away. That said, If it's nice hardened-off plant, a frost doesn't hurt it as much. My raspberries go through frosts all the time even with green leaves. I am in Michigan. I have leaves budding right now. can have frost upwards of another 7 weeks. I hope this
answer helps. And a nice part about raspberries is, say you mess up a little bit. It is always possible that you only kill what is above the ground. Under the ground it is still spreading
roots which will throw up shoots depending on the variety.
