This is the shrub:

This tree or shrub just popped up behind some crepe myrtles:

Finally, this tall tree is not evergreen and has large, round leaves:

First is one of several purple-leaved Loropetalum chinense cultivars. Second is possibly a mulberry (Morus), although bark does not seem typical. Last does not appear to have same twigs and branching but view of these provided is not very good; otherwise bark and trunk resembles Acer pensylvanicum or other stripebark maple species.

Thanks, bboy! The last one only has branching way up, which always made me think of a banyan tree, for some reason.

The fringed stipules indicate you have a rose with multiflora in its pedigree. If it makes 1 to 2 inch, white to light pink blooms with 5 petals, dig it out. It's a wild seedling brought by the birds and listed as a noxious weed in a lot of states. A lot of large flowered climbers and ramblers have multiflora in their heritage too so it could be one of those as well. Here is a link that might be useful: Google image results

can you graft more than one color of rose to one shrub?

R. multiflora makes an excellent rootstock for many areas (mine, for one). Yes, you can graft more than one variety (color doesn't matter) to the same rootstock. Weeks Roses does this with standards (tree) roses, they have a Julia Child and Edd Tide and Iceberg & Brilliant Pink Iceberg, and they used to have a Moonstone/Olympiad combo.

I believe the green trunked tree is Firmiana simplex.

Chris, you are wonderful! I have one of those in the front yard in young form and they have popped up all over. So not surprising it is considered invasive since the previous owners planted nothing but. Well, well, what can you do? Thanks so much for the info!

Well, looks like my volunteer has really decided to grow. Any new ideas based on its growth?
