Sr. Marya,

Yes, you can buy them. 
I don't know about other sources but Heirloom Old
Garden Roses (503-538-1576 of Oregon) is now offering 
16 fragrant hybrid teas on their own-roots in this years
catalogue. 

They didn't list 'Pink Peace', but they carry a 'Sweet Afton', 
they describe as pearlescent white with a pale pink reverse,
with heady perfume.

Oh yes, nice one, my momma's favorite also.  I bought one for 
her birthday four years ago.

Whew, three loses out of 3 dozen in 10 years, that's not "too" bad. 
Hate to lose any of course.  Could we hope that you've seen the last
of that icky stuff ... ?  Least for a while.   :-P
