Spectra, Stretch Johnson, and Sunsprite - Availability?

I have had Spectra about 20-years, and it was one of my favorites. The past 3-years it has shown it has rose mosaic virus, and its production of roses has slowed way down. I would like to replace it. I cannot find Spectra in commerce. Has anyone seen it offered for sale?


Same question about Stretch Johnson, although I think I severely damaged it a few years ago, and while it is somewhat growing, it is not well. I cannot find Stretch Johnson in commerce either.


I loved Sunsprite, but it seems to have disappeared from the market as well.


Has anyone seen these roses for sale in commerce recently, and if so, where?

    Sunsprite was in the body bags at Home Depot this spring, it sold out pretty quick though.

    I bought Sunsprite from Palatine in 2019, they sold it under the name "Friesia". I don't think they offered it last year though.

    The only place I've seen Spectra was from Nelson's Roses.
