Searching for Rosa Carolyn (Maccolumb)

I have searched for this rose which I would love to source for myself and my cousins since the sad loss of a much loved cousin. Matthews Nurseries in NZ who are credited with it, have suggested I research 'Maccolumb', as they don't seem to stock it or export it. 
  Has anyone got any advice? My only other option is Calluna Carolyn, but I favour a rose over Calluna, as she was a beautiful person.
  Any info or advice very welcome. In the meantime, I will keep searching.
TNS.

    @hernorrieship which country are you in please?   are you in NZ yourself or here in UK...? I'm not clear from your post... but there are other nurseries in NZ you could try such as... Tasman Bay.... Southern Roses... or Peak Perennials... but they may not have it in stock... best of luck...

    I am in in the U.K. Matthews Nurseries was the in,y one that came up in the search and they have advised me to try Harkness Roses or CK Jones here in the U.K. Not sure how easy it is to get roses from NZ??

    @hernorrieship  ....they won't have it... it's not been released in the UK... only in NZ and Japan....  as far as I know you cannot import roses from NZ without a licence..

    ...there is a rose called 'Carolyn Knight'... which is a David Austin rose... I don't know if that appeals to you or not...

    ...additionally... I've just remembered that Style Roses of Holbeach Lincs. import roses from NZ although this one isn't on their inventory...   you might like to contact them and see if they can import it for you...?...
