This rose is known as the Childrens Rose in Australia.
The fragrance is to die for and in the same league as Mr Lincoln and Double Delight
It is vigorous, put to the rear of a bed.
A must have.

Frederic Mistral is one of my top rose bushes in every respect. It is a vigorous grower. Select a spot where it has space to grow, because grow it will!! It grows so well that I got a circular trellis to give it support. It flowers with deliberation. By this I mean that the flowers come slower than some other varieties, but the compensation for this is that they last an incredibly long time. The fragrance of this rose is divine, and it remains constant until the flower fades. So does the delicious color. I like it so well that I have already started a second one for my rose garden of 22 shrubs, even though it means taking out something else to make room for it. I strongly recommend making room to grow this rose. It is a treasure.

Frederic Mistral has to be one of my favorite roses because of its sweet fragrance and profuse blooming cycle. In my zone 9A garden, it has grown 3' wide and almost 5' tall even with vigorous pruning in the winter. Its ruffled petals are reminiscent of peonies, but its fragrance is unmistakably roses.

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
