Rubus setosus is a prickly shrub up to 150 cm (4.9 ft) tall. Leaves are palmately compound with 3 or 5 leaflets. Flowers are white. Fruit is black, nearly spherical.[5]
The genetics of Rubus is extremely complex, so that it is difficult to decide on which groups should be recognized as species. There are many rare species with limited ranges such as this. Further study is suggested to clarify the taxonomy.[6]
