Is it too late to plant raspberry bushes as a novice gardener? (sh.itjust.works)

We live in southern Minnesota and want put some raspberry bushes in the backyard, being new to gardening should we wait until next spring or could they establish themselves well enough during the hot summer months to survive the winter without expert attention?

I love having raspberry bushes, but having them take over an entire yard is nightmare material. They are thorny, grow fast and choke out everything except the mulberry basal shoots. They would be near impossible to elliminate except by killing everything and starting over.
