Hybrid tea roses are readily available at some local nurseries, box stores and online at nurseries throughout the country.
Obviously, to people who know about roses.

In comparison to KO roses , Drift and Sun roses, there are way WAY fewer grafted roses on the market. Most (possibly all) of the nurseries in Florida that grew only grafted roses are now growing mostly other things, only other things, or out of business. I never said they (grafted roses) were no longer available, but they are the minority.
