Plants of merit have been exchanged between the UK and the US since colonial days. New roses and other flowers are constantly being hybridized in both nations (and France, Gemany, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) The best quickly get transported around the world. Tastes vary, however, and that may limit a rose's popularity and availability from one county to the next. Also different names for the same rose are often adopted to make a English rose hybrid more attractive to the US public, or vice-versa.
Beautiful native US plants are tried in the UK and are marketed when they adapt well to the soil and climate differences. When they don't adapt they are usually hard to locate in nurseries. The same works the other way across the Atlantic, but the UK's geographical size means fewer untested natives to attempt to grow in the US.
So the short answer is, "Yes, but not many."

Look at the online catalogues from the UK a lot of new plants are included in their new 2007 editions like Thompson & Morgans, Mr Fotheringale, etc.

You don't say where you are living which makes it hard to answer your question correctly. I assume you are from America and yes we do have plants and roses here that you don't have in the states just as you have plants that we cannot grow here. Different climates you know.

A few. I think there are things here that grow better and vice versa. But probably all plants and/or roses have been introduced to each country at some point.
