I think mysore raspberries will work here.

mysores are black but by all accounts tasty... just very aggressive.

google Bababerry.

i'm growing some... i think. i have a big bunch of rubus, including some that karalynn gave me, another that tony_k gave me, some brazos, and bababerry. some of the canes died last year during the drought, and of course they've spread wildly, so god knows which is which.

this year they should produce.

Will the kinds that I posted work here in zone 9-10?

i have a mysore 2nd year its growing very well we have eaten about 75 fruit so far and it still has many more to give. i would rate the taste as about a 7. it has a slight well water taste to it (possibly from my neighbors well water). definately fun to have and doesnt mind the fl heat at all. hates wind though.

Raspberries can be grown in full sun, right?

rubus are VERY TOUGH. hiking i see them grow wild in miserable conditions where nothing else will grow. full sun and also in the shade of forest's edge.

the cultivate kind aren't likely THAT tough, but still, as a species, they are troopers. (thing is, the wild ones are very tasty and one of these days i'm just going to dig a bunch and bring them home.)

The only red raspberry that I know of that will produce in zone 9-10 is the Dorman Red. I have grown them, and they are miserable to work with due to the nasty thorns. The taste is so-so, and insects tend to congregate inside the hollow inner "cap" of the berry. Many times I crunched a few bugs when eating berries.

I much prefer thornless Blackberries. Much easier to grow, and work with, and the taste is much, much better!
