Is there a source for the rosella seeds in the US? If so, how can I acquire some?

If you look at the comments for Rosella in April 2008, there is one which answers your question in detail.

I have planted some rosella bushes and they have grown wonderfully, but when do they start to bear fruit. I live in Brisbane

I have 30 plants that I started in October. I have just harvested about 50 rosellas and made 5 jars of jam. My soil is not that great but since giving the plants a good feed they have perked up. They do not like wet feet. I have lost 1 plant due to my accidentally disturbing its roots. I have thousands of little holes in the leaves which I think are grasshopper nibblings. I have noticed some grubs in the last 2 days and have 1to identify. It has yellow stripes longways and black dots side by side across its length with white hairs. Does anyone know what they are?

Same here - in fact we have lost a few really healthy Rosella bushes - think it was the excessive rain - the trunk of the plants went black
