We purchased a Fall Goldraspberry #2108019 two years ago.This second year we had many
shoots of the plant,and they produced very nice berries.
My question is:Should the plant be trimmed back each year,and at what time of the year should
it be prooned?

You're right Lynn, but as a former fruitfreak I would like to respond just for once this time (the plants are rosacea too)
Each year in winter or early spring You keep the new canes from last year 10 to 20 cm. apart from each other. Bend the new canes to the side and attach them to a wire or fence, so the new growth can shoot upright! (to prevent virusses from last years growth to infect the new canes.)
The canes that produced fruit last year you prune completely away just at or above groundlevel and repeat this scheme every year. It's that simpel!
Good luck!

Good job Jay Jay. I'm somewhat of a "fruit Freak" myself. In fact L.E. Cooke Co. is one of my former employers.
Greetings to Bob Ludekens should he get this message.

Thank You Robert! I looked L.E. Cooke Co. up on the internet; it's a big one! (But no roses.)

L.E. Cooke Co. experimented with roses awhile back. Their operation has always centered around production of fruits and deciduous ornamentals, much of it grafted or budded.
They experimented with the Harvey Davidson series of smooth roses at one time. I'm guessing they had a contract for production.
Offices for L.E. Cooke are just minutes by car from Ralph Moore's Sequoia Nsy. I could go there on my Lunch hour. ;-)

Thank you, Jay-Jay. I was afraid the site user would get no response and his question certainly was valid.
Smiles,
