I don't see where they sell actual rose plants. Just events, bouquets, and tours. Maybe I'm blind, but I'm not sure it belongs here now.

We have a nursery on site. We sell fully leafed out 5 and 15 gallon roses. We do not list our inventory on our website, but are happy to email a current list of our plants if requested via email.

The 'Order Roses' tab only sells floral stems.
The 'Garden/Floral' Services' tab, a tab on most sites used to talk about floral stem shipping and services such as landscaping, lists those things, and then lists 'Rose Plants For Sale'. You can see why that tab is skipped over for finding any actual plants for sale, instead of under the 'Order Roses' tab.
In other words, the retail rose plant sub-link is somewhere most people would never look, because they associate it with, well, services rather than sales.
In the last decade, a lot of sites have either went under or changed to services only. Sometimes to services wholly unrelated to horticulture. Sometimes to sites that search engines display warnings for. Ferreting them out to help people from trying to find rare roses listed in places that no longer have such a thing is something passively done on occasion.

No availability list, contact us about plants for sale, and 5 plant! minimum order from new customers. It would seem that, what with increases in shipping charges and varying state regulations, retail rose shipping is becoming more trouble than it might be worth.

We feel it’s always better to buy roses locally. Typically they are less expensive, but more importantly they are usually suited to your zone and will do well in your garden. However, when a desired plant is not available, we are happy to help. Shipping 5 plants actually still works for most clients economically. We have a great ship rate with FedEx overnight and the cost can be spread over 5 plants. We include the box and packing so it’s actually not a good business model for us, but we do this as a service for our clients. We love seeing our clients try new roses! Shipping one x 5 gallon fully leafed out plant is really costly. We will do it, but we do not promote it. We are happy to email our live inventory at any time, but because we typically have very low stock on each variety, it is difficult to keep the list accurately on our website. We encourage folks to call us so that we can help them with their selections to make sure they match your zone and rose experience. We’ve provided personal service for plant selection and rose care for almost 30 years. Let us know how we can help! Roses always…

The reference from Gardener's Monthly, given here as 1876, "Referring to the origin of the Manetti Rose," was puzzling, as it refers to "a recent issue of the Journal des Roses," which didn't commence publication until 1877 (an earlier Journal des Roses was published 1854-1859). The quote is actually from p. 165 of the 1882 Gardener's Monthly.

The property at Renmark (Ruston's) was on the market for 4 years, with prospective (but not eventual) buyers promising to sign the contract "next week", so it was neglected in that time. You should have seen how the bracteata in the photo spread along the cut-flower rose beds, following the irrigation lines.
You can't kill it with glyphos or blackberry spray, even when there's no risk of off-target damage.

Margaret, may I ask for a comment on the "unpleasant fragrance", just wondering what it would be akin to. Call it morbid curiosity.

I haven't grown it for over 30 years. There's one I can check in a few days' time.

Wonderful colors on this rose. Scent is wonderful. Definitely clove, but has a subtle fruity, raspberry scent behind the clove. Everyone always seems to love seeing this one in vase.
