grand prix roses

This is my first question here, so really hoping someone can help me :-)

I'm trying to find someone (garden centre, online supplier, anyone!) who sells 'grand prix' roses for planting, but not having much success. All I get from Google are pages offering bouquets at ridiculous prices!

It's a deep red colour with velvety petals, densly packed and would appear to be used a lot in bouquets. I got the name from a florist but does anyone know if it goes by another name? Or perhaps it just doesn't grow in the UK, which is why I can't find it anywhere?

thanks

That's the conclusion I was coming to too, but I'm a very much a novice with roses so I thought I'd check. I guess I'll just have to go out and find the variety that closest matches what I'm after.

Thanks

From this I would suspect it may be avauilable in Holland and possibly in UK; I checked Peter Beales and David Austin, neither of them list it, try googling for rose growers and then search each growers site.

Helpmefind.com also lists a Grand Prix florists rose, which may be what you are looking for, but no suppliers listed.
