They are coming from the understock…what it is grafted onto.

I agree. It looks like Dr. Huey, but in any event is a rose coming up from whatever the scion was rooted on. Do you know? If you want to save the pink rose, work back from the red bloms and find out where the cane(s) they are growing from emerge. Don't cut them - dig down next to them until you come to where they are growing out of a vertical structure under the ground. Then cut them off as close as you can to whatever they are growing from, & replace the dirt and water the bush.

What Jackie said above, except instead of cutting them off, try (if you can) to grab the cane (maybe use pliers) to rip the cane off so you get the base of it. That helps to prevent the regrowth of it. I often have a hard time doing this, but it's worth a try :-D

That's not Dr. Huey. It only blooms in the spring and the foliage is not glossy.

I’m no expert, Hugogurll, but my first thought was the same, that this is not Dr Huey. I don’t know enough about all the rootstocks used to graft onto, but honestly, the form of the flower and the leaves look so nearly identical to the original rose bush to me, that I almost wonder if Meredith is observing a sport of her rose happening? But I defer to those on this forum who know far more than I do. This is just my uneducated observation.

Meredith, was this a potted rose when you bought it?

Hi everyone. First off, I always get the name of this rose backwards. This is a bubble double. It’s a radiation induced mutation of double pink knockout. I think the red roses on the bush look like knockouts to me and they are growing off a very large cane on the left side of the rose bush. I bought it at Home Depot potted. It’s quite possible the nursery gave me a knockout in the pot with my bubble double? The bush is large and I’ve included a picture of the base . Would have to dig it up to see if it’s 2 intertwined rose bushes. Maybe it will mutate into something new in the years to come? Lol….. thanks to all who read this post and replied.

Here’s the base of it, large cane on far left produces the red flowers.

Here’s the bubble double bloom

If 'Bubble Double' is a mutation (sport) of 'Double Pink Knockout', that would explain everything. HMF says DPK is a sport of the red bloomed Double Knockout, so the red blooms could be the bush of DPK "sporting back" to one of its sport parents. This happens all of the time with sports. It also explains why the red blooms are growing off a "very large cane". It will be interesting to see what happens in the next few years if you leave this bush alone (which is what I would do, but I love to see rose bushes do weird things, just me).
