      Is your rose grafted? It could be the grafts growth which in that case cut it off so it doesn’t steal the rose’s energy

    2. It’s most likely part of the root stalk. The flower’s white small flower is found in the wild; for me, I see them in the Sierra’s in the spring

      I grew up in California and a neighbor had a most wonderful naval orange tree. New owners came, did some very poorly timed and executed pruning and killed it, Then a new tree grew from the dead trees roots. Beautiful and sour!! The naval had been grafted on a sour (Saville?) Orange roots..the fruit was too sour for most marmalade recipes.

      I say try to cut it off and use root grow and make another rose bush

      Root stock. Remove it by twisting it off at the base, if possible. Cutting it can encourage further growth.

      It looks like you already have several correct answers. I think the bottom rose is super cute, it looks like a giant strawberry flower to me. Maybe try and grow that little one in a pot after you trim it off.

      Multi flora rose is the rootstock. It’s used because it just.wont.die.

      Just keep pruning out the multi flora, and enjoy

    7. Do you have a photo of the tag to see what company is using this rootstock?

      First. Lush I thought Native Anemone….but perhaps wild rose(?)

      They look much better in a bunch than the single large grafted variety at the top. imv

    10. Looks like the root stock. It’s still a rose. Just not the one you paid for.

      I only see native wild pinku roses here in bc 😏💕😌 I even love seeing all the double wild roses at the beaches

      I’d leave it, whatever it is. The bees will probably love whatever it is.

      It’s the original rose bush the roots come from. It’s probably sturdier than the cultivar.
      The plant making the beautiful purple roses was grafter on the original one.

      Both beautiful in their own way 🌸

      When buying, how do you tell if this was used as the rootstock?

      Multi flora rose , invasive. In pa the game commission introduced it . Spent three yrs removing it from my farm
