Raspberry canes should survive if there is plenty of drainage at the bottom of the pots, in other words do not put a saucer under the pots, make sure that there is gravel/grit/broken pieces of plant pots/small stones{any of these would do} in the base of the trough. The canes will loose their leaves during the winter so do not panic and throw them out!Their natural environment is sunny-light shade, damp-dry soil and not too windy. If you find that the compost is sodden try to put them in a dry spot for a few days eg. by a wall or near the house- two or three days of this should solve the problem. In the spring if you decide to plant them in the garden space them roughly 18" apart in a row. They also make a good addition to a garden hedge as they will spread as well as provide fruit and flowers.
