Default Roses

I have a slope that slipped in 2005 in a record-breaking rain storm. It
was finally repaired this summer. The regrading impacted the rose bed
at the foot of the slope. Impacted? Not even stumps of roses planted
more than 20 years ago remain!

I have located sources to replace all but three. The three roses that I
can't find a
'Color Magic'
Climbing 'Peace'
Climbing 'Chrysler Imperial'

I did a Google search for these. All "hits" on 'Color Magic' and
climbing 'Peace' seem to indicate "Sold Out". "Hits" on climbing
'Chrysler Imperial' were all for sources of other climbing roses and for
'Chrysler Imperial' as a shrub.

I'm hoping to plant my roses in January. While I'm looking for
bare-root plants, I will buy plants that were very recently potted into
1 gallon cans.

Can anyone help me? Although I generally avoid mail-ordering live
plants, I will make an exception for these.
