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?

As someone in Minnesota, they thrive here just fine. I grow mine in the yard and mow down any that grow where I don't want them, which seems to keep them in check.

You don’t see the root systems choking off anything adjacent? Genuinely curious.

Not really, no. There's grass around them and among them, so they seem to be fitting in well.
