Ater 30 years of buying roses from every mail-order nursery, many of which are no longer in business, I can say without any hesitation that Palatine is the very best source for bare-root roses. Lots of healthy canes and roots, excellent customer service, and shipping rates that are lower than the ones charged by most of the U.S. nurseries. One other bonus for me is the R. multiflora rootstock, which doesn't appeal to gophers and therefore eliminates the expense of a gopher-proof planting cage for each rose.
His user name is Rich on the lily auction. I have bought seeds from him numerous times, almost 100% germination rate. I also have beautiful seedlings from those seeds.
