Rhubarb will also grow very well here. I purchased a crown from uk and it grows great. Cover over with straw and plastic during the winter to protect. I made some great jams last year.

I planted 8 rhubarb seedlings last year (victoria, it said hardy to -5C on the packet) and 7 are coming up already, no covering , no protection, and this winter it got down as low as -18C here (excluding wind chill). I do know however many people that have tried and the plants just died, maybe dependant on soil more than weather.

I have 2mth old rhubarb seedlings available @ 4.50lv/plant (early red and glaskin's perpetual)

sure can, courier only as I'm not sure they would arrive alive in anyway shape or form via post, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] terms are cash on delivery

you would need to give them protection till after the last frost before planting out if you want them now, or, if you want to wait I got plenty for sale all season.
