Copy and paste this into your web browser, It is a contact email from a website called RaytheRose. There are mentions of Ralph S Moore on his site so he may be able to point you in the right direction, where to buy it, etc. The only Andrea rose I've found by Ralph S Moore is Andrea Parade and I think it is a minature.

Hi Angeleyes obviously Andrea given you a lot of info - and with a name like that she should be able to help in your search !
Ralph Moore was a famous American rose grower but he does mention Sean McCann Roses of Dublin although couldnt see Andrea listed - did find a yellow hybrid Tea called Andrea by a Czech grower but no availability details.
Dublin not too far from you and site gives contact details so may be able to help you.

I have just found Ralph Moore's nursery 'Sequoia', but it closed down in 2008 when Ralph Moore reached 101!
There was an older variety (1971) which was a minature called 'Andrea' and is not freely available. I don't know who is selling these roses now, I've tried looking for suppliers but unfortunately can't help. It may be worth asking some rose experts which myself and BB have suggested

I checked Plant Finder on the RHS website and came up with the following supplier:

What a beautiful website greenfingers, 'The Country Garden Plant Centre' They have roses for just about every name you can think of. If you order off this site Angeleyes for a bare root rose you will get it and be able to plant it before March this year.

I have found a rose called "Andrea Stelzer" which is a hybrid T. Former S African Miss world!! I have tried to find suppliers but not having any luck at present.
There is also a minature one called Andrea Parade. If you could let us know what type of rose it is that would be helpful
