How can I find the manufacturer of a french country antique cabbage rose quilt?

I am looking for the manufacturer of a french chic antique cabbage rose or also known as english rose garden quilt. I have found this quilt on Ebay and Overstock .com. On Overstock .com catalog #10087542. I also have a model #GL-WB0726.

With a romantic French blend of colors including melon rose and pink roses, butter yellow, sage green, rose and a touch or French periwinkle blue. It has several prints consisting of roses, wildflowers, vintage roses, and cabbage roses along with a ticking stripe and garlands of flowers.

This year I’d like to try my hand at growing Roses. I’m considering “Mr. Lincoln” and “Gypsy Carnival” varieties, which seem hardy enough.

My Question is:

Do Rose Bushes require any special care?
And can anyone direct me to a reputable source to buy plants and/or get info??

Thanks
