Fairview Farms on highway 301 had several different colors when I was there 2 weeks ago. Good helpful place, I like them.

red, yellow, pink and a "rainbow" (starts one color, eventually turns another??)I

Just a minor word of caution, when I talked to Jim Davis at the Florida Extension Service (great guy, spent a lot of time with us) who is an unbiased expert, he says his parents have knock-out roses, and they (he) has had problems because "roses are roses".

I enjoyed landscaping and plants, but I don't claim much expertise, I tend towards easy plants.
