I have checked the most recent version of the Combined Rose List compiled and edited by Beverly R. Dobson & Peter Schneider for possible sources of 'Brad' and they do not list the rose as available anywhere.
I am sorry I could not find a source for your rose.

Actually, I emailed Lionel Poole. He said that he never put this particular rose into commerce and that he doesn't have anymore of the original plants. Ivor Mace also responded and stated that for about 500 pounds sterling one could have a rose named after someone.
If anyone out there knows of anyone else that may have named a rose 'Brad', I sure would like to know. It would seem to me that if Lionel Poole never put the rose into commerce and the fact that he doesn't have any of the plants, the name should be up for grabs?
What zone range is this grown in and how might I contact this person about obtaining the rose "Brad"? My zone here in Lake Elizabeth, California is a 3 to 8 range.
