Ah, ok thanks-I did wonder as there were quite a few branches with seven leaves... But it's interesting to know suckers can appear above the graft, I suppose you are just looking for something very different from the rest? Great link Dovefromabove, lots of good stuff there, thanks!
If a rose is grafted, the bit below the graft is one species, anything from that is a sucker. The bit above the graft is the cultivated rose you bought, anything from above that graft is your rose. Number of leaflets is irrelevant

no, suckers can't come from above the graft.
Read Dove's link.
