Carefree Spirit™
Rosa 'Meizmea'
Patent: PP#20175
Our 2009 AARS Winner. Finally, a true red hardy shrub rose! Carefree Spirit™ is a descendant of our popular and former winner, Carefree Delight. Meilland hybridized an even better landscape plant that still has the great foliage of its parent, but now has more disease resistance, better plant habit and a great non-fading bright red color. This consensus winner demonstrated great success in a variety of climates. Hardy Zone 5.
