Hallo Donna,
it is very right to look first for rowans growing in the same area...
In most EU countries we do not know your Rowan-disease problems at all.
We have also Rowans (Sorbus) which came from warm China areas at EU.
Do not forget Sorbus domestica (seeds) because is likes more heat. 
Humidity???
Ask more and keep me informed, to be able to support you.

ciao
Hans
