Overview
Free Spirit is a compact floribunda bred by Fryer and released in 2006. The flowers are salmon-pink and have no noticeable fragrance. It stays small, at roughly 0.75 m (2.5 ft) tall and wide, which makes it easy to fit into beds, small borders or a large pot. It earned the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 2012 and was granted UK plant breeders' rights in 2008. A sensible choice where colour matters more than scent and space is limited.
