|discussion=<p><i>Rubus deliciosus</i> is recognized by its decumbent to erect, unarmed stems, relatively small simple leaves with obtuse to broadly rounded lobes, shallowly cordate bases, sparsely hairy abaxial surfaces, large flowers, white petals, glabrous or sparsely hairy sepals, and densely villous clavate styles. The distinction between <i>R. deliciosus</i> and <i>R. neomexicanus</i> is not always clear, especially when the former has more narrowly obtuse lobes and denser leaf abaxial hairs. <i>Rubus deliciosus</i> is also similar to <i>R. bartonianus</i> of Idaho and Oregon, as well as the Mexican <i>R. trilobus</i> Seringe. It might be reasonable to recognize a broader concept of <i>R. deliciosus</i>, one containing multiple infraspecific. <i>Rubus deliciosus</i> and its close relatives require a revisionary study.</p><!--
--><p><i>Rubus deliciosus</i> has long been planted for its ornamental value because of its large, showy flowers.</p>
