Hof........
The rose page for 'Frederic Mistral' says that the width of the plant is 35 inches. Please note that this measurement is a generality. Roses in the southern states grow much larger than the same cultivar growing in the northern states because they get more hours of intense sunlight. Therefore, depending upon what zone and latitude your garden is located in, the spacing will vary. In Southern California FM is considered a BIG rose. While in Ohio it seems to run true to the size listed on the rose page. You certainly want to leave enough space so that you can work around the rose, unless you are planting a hedge....then you would plant the roses closer together with the intent that they grow into each other.
I hope this helps.
Smiles,
Lyn

I grow Fredric Minstrel in zone 6 and it gets BIG here. At present it is 45-50 inches wide/deep and four feet tall. I adore this rose, it is constantly in bloom and has good disease resistance..the thrips don't even seem to like it much. Make sure it has room to spread and you'll be fine.
Good Luck

Fredric Minstral is hardy in my zone 6a garden. The first few years I lost it to the ground over the winter, but it always came back very well. The last two seasons the canes have wintered well. It is 5+ ft in height and 6-7 ft around. This rose is a consistant, non-stop bloomer, with decent disease reisistance.

My 'Frederic Mistral' took 2 years to establish - probably because I moved it to a sunnier spot where it has finally burgeoned into an attractive, dense shrub as wide as it is tall. It now blooms constantly, in a thick mass of exquisitely fragrant blossoms.

I just planted this rose last spring and it has had a couple of blooms on it consistently since then. Height has reached 6ft here in Oklahoma. The blooms are some of the largest I have seen.
