free flowering
Explanation:
Depends on exactly what it does - to my mind a repeat bloomer has one crop of flowers and then another crop later, whereas a free flowerer goes on having some flowers over a long period.

excellent repeat bloomer

Explanation:
David Austinâ„¢ Roses are bred by crossing old garden roses with more modern roses to achieve the superb fragrance, delicacy and charm of the old-style blooms combined with the repeat flowering characteristics and wide color range of modern roses. Some English varieties are extra vigorous in warm areas as very large shrubs and some may want to become semi-climbers.

'Mary Rose' (1983, 4'x4') is an excellent all-around bush that produces rose-pink flowers. It is an excellent repeat bloomer, flowering from early to late in the season.
