Yes, similar in Czech: <ostruz^ina>

But we have <malina> for the red ones, and <c^erna: malina> for their
black counterparts.

The difference in use between <ostruz^ina> and <c^erna: malina>
(<c^erna:> = black) seems to be the early sweetness of the latter.
Well, from the botanical point of view, all these species belong to
the Rubus L. genus, which has a suprisingly high number of variants,
cross-breeds, etc. all over the world.
