Eden Seeds have Rosella seeds available at present and you can order online. I grew them in my hydroponics last year and made my first rosella jam since I left the tropics. You need to get them started as soon as possible to allow enough time to fruit before it gets cool.

In temperate climates I'd say don't bother, I live in Melbourne and my plant only got to about 15cm tall and the leaves were too sour to eat, no fruit on plant. They need a long hot growing season.
