Question
I saw a picture in a magazine of a rose which can have up to five hearts and which seemed to be called Number Rose.  Are you familiar with this rose?  If so, where can I find it and what are the characteristics of the rose?  

Answer
Hi Sanford-

I'm not sure what you mean by saying the rose has five hearts. Perhaps you meant it has up to five roses to a stem? (a cluster flowered rose). On the Help me find roses website - I found the following rose called "Number 94-7."  I don't know if this is the one you read about, but it was bred in 2004, and one of the parents was called King of Hearts (could it have a association with the five hearts you wrote about?).

Rose Name: Number 94-7

Class: Hybrid Tea / Large-Flowered.   
aka: First Flight  
Origin: Bred in United States (2004) by Astor Perry.   
Bloom: Medium red [mr] blooms.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.    
Parentage: King of Hearts ?Chrysler Imperial

Notes: The new hybrid First Flight Rose has its roots in
Raleigh, where Astor Perry first landed on the unique
tribute idea more than a year ago. In search of a
brilliant red Garden Tea rose, Perry hybridized this
particular flower in his home-based garden workshop.
The result of breeding a cross between a King of
Hearts and a Chrysler Imperial rose created a unique
seedling originally designated as "number 94-7." The
eventual namesake and tribute idea came from a phone
call Perry received one day. "The folks from the Outer
Banks called me and asked if I'd consider breeding a
rose as a special tribute to the 100th anniversary of
the Wright brothers' first flight," said Perry. "It
was good timing, because I had just successfully
completed hybridizing number 94-7 and it was an
exceptionally good seedling."

Astor Perry knows a good seedling when he sees one.
Now retired, he spent 34 years as a professor of
agronomy at North Carolina State University; and, in
his spare time over the past 37 years, Perry has been
propagating roses on his own at home. Of the thousands
and thousands of roses Perry has grown over the past
four decades, the First Flight Rose is definitely
among his favorites. "I'm very proud that they asked
me to produce the First Flight Rose," said Perry. "My
tribute is small compared to the magnitude of what the
Wright Brothers did, but I hope people are pleased
with this special rose."  

The rose is supposedly available from Certified Roses in Texas.

You can also do a search on the Help me find roses website and check under florabunda or grandiflora roses (red) which are both cluster flowered roses.
