Default Sources of rhubarb varietes please?

I am loooking for a source of rhubarb plants or rhizomes in the UK. In
France (where they are going to end up, if I can find some) all I can
find is "rhubarb" but I know it is possible to find different varieties
with different characteristics.
Ideally I would find a specialist nursery with a web site and lots of
information to help me choose maybe 4-6 different sorts to try.
Any advice - either on sources of plants, sorces of information, or
types to look for / grow will be gratefullly received!
Thanks


RHS Wisley and I think, Harlow Carr hold the national collections for
rhubarb (Rheum species).
Try contacting them directly or the ususal sources, eg Ken Muir, ART,
etc.. there is a URG list of supplier on the web (probably under 'fruit)
