Rubus comprises shrubs that can be either deciduous or evergreen, frequently growing in a scrambling manner. These plants are characterized by their bristly or spiny stems, which support simple, lobed, palmate, or pinnate foliage. The flowers typically have five petals and are succeeded by juicy fruits, some of which are edible.

Rubus arcticus is a thornless, deciduous perennial or subshrub that typically reaches a height of 30 cm and can spread up to 1 m in width. Its leaves are characterized by a three-lobed structure with serrated edges. During the summer, the plant produces clusters of pink to rose-purple flowers, each measuring up to 2.5 cm across, often appearing in groups of one to three. Following the flowering period, it yields edible fruits that are roundish, deep red or dark purple, and can grow to about 1 cm in diameter.

Rubus bambusarum is a woody, evergreen vine characterized by its elongated, sparsely thorned stems.

The plant produces pink flowers that mature into small black fruits, each adorned with white or pink sepals that resemble flowers.

Rubus biflorus is a deciduous shrub that can reach heights of up to 3 meters. It features upright, thorny canes that display a notable white bloom, particularly prominent during the winter months. The leaves are pinnate with a white underside. In summer, the plant produces white flowers measuring approximately 2.5 cm in diameter, which may later develop into yellow fruit.

Rubus caesius is a deciduous shrub that resembles a bramble, capable of either sprawling as ground cover or climbing when supported. It produces white flowers that eventually give way to bluish-black fruits, which are smaller than those of blackberries. The stems typically flower and yield fruit in their second year before dying back.

Rubus calophyllus is a semi-evergreen shrub or a short climbing plant that can reach a height of 2.5 meters. Its green foliage features prominent, deep veins and a white underside. Once the plant is well-established, it produces dark red flowers that give way to orange-red berries.
