sounds like they were grafted onto reg roses and the tall stuff is from the roots.

I have some mini roses that were about 6 inches high and this year
they have suddenly shot up to about 2 to 3 feet high with red roses
that turn brown shortly after opening up. Is this what happens to
mini roses? I'm tempted to dig them up or should I trim them back and
wait to see what happens? They are at the front of the flower bed and
are now in front of shorter plants. I'm in zone 5.
