I saw this rose in the Birmingham (Alabama) Botanical Gardens and fell in love with it. But I can't find another one anywhere, and I can't get back to that garden any time soon. Anyone know what type of rose this is and what it's name (common and latin) is? It is to be the centerpiece of my wedding.

If someone isn't successful is giving you a name, email the botanical garden as they should have a master plant list and hopefully will be able to get the name for you. Keep in mind that if the rose is from the old-fashioned rose garden, it may be hard to find!
There are a ton of peach colored roses on the market. Consult with a good florist and see what will be in season during your wedding and see what you will like if you can't find the one in your picture.
Best of luck.

Why don't you e-mail the botanical gardens where you saw the plant and send them the link to the picture and ask them what the variety is.

Photos can be very deceiving when it comes to color so here are some that I think look similar. A verbal description would be helpful as to whether the colors are Orange/yellow, Red/yellow, or even Apricot/yellow. The rose looks Orange/yellow to me so here are roses that look similar.
