So I was watching the news and happened upon a report from CBS entitled "Roses, Mom's Best Friend". It pointed out that 90% sold in the USA are imported, mostly from Venezuela. Most are grown w/unregulated pesticides, low paid workers, [60% with pesticidee problems], etc. But they went on to show a major size [100 ac.] organic rose grower.
It took me a while to find this on their website <cbsnews.com> but I hope you can view it with this link.

A Yahoo! Search for "organic rose farm" did turn up some domestic growers in the mix.
Take care.
