2008 update: There were two different roses here. I have shovel pruned the one in front (the pink). The one remaining is the white one which appears to be a climbing rose.
Our gardens were so overgrown that I had no idea there was a rose here when I started pulling out the ivy.
This is what it looked like before:
And after: (I still have to do some cleanup.)
Taken June 6th. I think there might be two different bushes here. The back one has a white bud, but the front has a pink bud.
I'm still thinking that there are two here. The one with the pink flowers has more matte leaves while the white one is more glossy.
Taken June 24th. A week ago, we pulled out two trees that were in the same space. Still have some cleanup to do here... If there is two bushes here as suspected, only one is blooming right now.
Taken July 2nd:

If you have two different leaves, you have two different roses, unless they appear to be arising from the same stem underground. If that's so then you may have a rootstock putting out a cane.
