Just a couple of quick questions, What is meant when people say they bought a rose as a "band" and what exactly do people mean when they say they are "rustlers"?

In this case "rustled" roses are usually heritage or unidentified varieties propagated from abandoned homes, grave sites and the like.

rustled = collected

A "band' is a deep square pot used for propagation, usually black in color. They are generally small and less expensive to ship than other sizes.

Ah ha, that's cleared that up thank you. I've "rustled" roses from all sorts of places and once stole a sheep, so I've added rustler to my account.
