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

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.

Please see if this is multiflora rose and check whether it’s invasive to your area! As a new englander I almost retched reflexively as it has completely taken over here
Multi flora rose is the rootstock. It’s used because it just.wont.die.
Just keep pruning out the multi flora, and enjoy

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

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

Unpopular opinion, personally I prefer the root stock.

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 🌸
