Perhaps a climbing rose has a smaller consumer market?
Also, based on parentage, I am somewhat doubtful of 2b hardiness, but perhaps there is some rugosa hiding in there.

This author cites Laffay as the breeder.
Pearson's Encyclopedia of Roses, (1956) pg. 172
Cardinal de Richelieu (R. gallica hybrid)
Rich velvety-purple blooms, large and with plenty of petals. Fragrant. Makes a strong, bushy plant. (Laffay, 1840.)

Yes, 20th century authors state Laffay 1840, however, the earliest references from the 19th century attribute it to Parmentier. François Joyaux in "La Rose de France" also has Parmentier as the breeder. We have added this reference with the explanation of the error.
