Default Searching for old (by age) roses

Talk to the local Master Gardener or talk to a old Graveyard facility.
Many good people take cuttings and propagate roses that are at least
that old. Some are local found and some are imported by wagon / train.

Normally there is a Grave Yard registry on a website by state / county -
Google will help.

Does anyone here have or know anyone who has roses that are at least 100
years old available/for sale? I am looking for either the actual mature
bush/plant itself, division cuttings or own/self root cuttings. I'm not
particular about species,etc. and will cover shipping and so forth.

Thanks!
