I now have a 2nd rose with a dead cane and found a funny looking growth at the base of the cane. This time Julia Child. Now left as a one cane wonder, although it is growing well enough. The previous rose, Emily Bronte, is doing nicely. Thoughts? Coincidence? Should i remove this plant?

I pried a lump of what looked like gall off of a couple of my roses at the crown and they carried on as normal subsequently.

I would do what Sheila did, Chris. What the old time rosarians did was just remove the galls and let the bush show if it is growing properly. If the bush declines, then it's time to remov it, and the soil it was growing in, not to be composted, but discarded.

Is there a chance that you purchased the roses from the same source and that they had gall already, but too small to detect with the eye? They looked perfectly normal at time of purchase?

It could be either. There is a white lamium (Lamium album) as well as a white flowered variation of Lamium amplexicaule, aka white henbit. Both are widely naturalized across much of North America and generally considered weeds.

There is also a white flowered form of the ornamental spotted deadnettle, Lamium maculatum, 'White Nancy'.

It isn't Lamium album. Nor does it resemble L. maculatum. In all aspects other than colour it looks like L. purpureum, so my guess is a very pale example of that species. The link shows both white and the commoner dark pink versions. https://plantsam.com/lamium-purpureum-2/
