Planting a raspberry bush

Cross post:
I bought this raspberry bush yesterday and need a little guidance. I'm
in a zone 6a, SE Michigan,
and we still have a bit of snow in the ground. Do I just
need to keep it lightly watered and in a windowsill until the ground
thaws? Where should I pick to plant it? I have a fence that I'm
thinking of planting it close to but not on top of. Any and all advice
is greatly appreciated it! I'm thinking of even getting a few more, we
love our raspberries! :o)
