Toni, I don't think the Renaissance line of roses was ever sold in this country. I bought Bering Renaissance from Hortico about 10 years ago, when it was still a reliable nursery, and it's still on Hortico's list, but not this year. Pickering was carrying it for a while too.

Cindi, Antike 89 is a rose that people (and I'm one of them) tend to confuse with Handel and Harlekin, which are white with pink edging. The edges on Antike blooms are a luscious dark coral, however, and the edging gradually takes over, until there's hardly any white showing. It's a vigorous climber, with thick canes, and a great rose to own.

Porkpal, Bull's Eye is indeed intriguing. I bought it from S&W this year as one of their "2013 roses" and I'm really glad I did. It reminds me of Ralph Moore's Persian series, but it's a much more substantial rose bush. It comes from an English hybridizer, Peter James. I have another of his roses, 'Blue for You,' and I hope the rest of his roses become available here. This is the one I really, really want:
