Multiple coloured roses

I bought 3 yellow rose trees last year. They were all yellow when bloomed last year but one now has yellow, white and pink flowers. The yellow heads are single and are on the main plant but the pink and white are multiple and are all on a seperate branch. Do I leave them or will it damage the yellow side?

    Hi @maggiefootitt 😊 
    could you post a photo of the whole rosebush please, and some of the blooms ... that may give us a clue

    If the pink/white flowers are growing on stems which are separate from the 'yellow' stems, trace them back to the base. If they are growing from the ground or from below the union, (where the yellow variety is grafted on to the stock) you have wild roses from the stock. You should remove any suckers (the wild rose) from as close to the stock as possible or the wild rose will outgrow the variety and you will end up with a huge wild rose tree.
