Can anyone tell me what this curly plant is growing on my rose

[pud1]

I have what I assume is a rose in my garden. It has thorns but hasn't flowered yet. I only moved I a month ago. It's got this curly plant growing from its base. Can anyone tell me what it is

Looks like a fern.

It looks like ivy to me.

Do you mean the ivy? Not quite sure what I am looking at

[LetThereBeCupcakes]

I'd say fern!

[pud1]

Sorry. Photos a bit rubbish. The ivy is behind the rose growing up the wall. The curly thing is in front of the ivy

[pud1]

The rose is bald at the bottom. You can see the two thorny sticks in the photo.

Can you tell I am new to gardening

Looks like a fern before they open out, youtube time-lapse ferns, I love the way they uncurl 😊

Just watched a time lapse in YouTube. That's amazing. The clip I watched was over about 5 days and it whet from nothing to fully open. That you explain how it seems to have Kai appeared.

It definitely looks like an unfurling fern, I think it may be Dryopteris filix-mas, it's common name is the male fern! It grows quite large, maybe 2ft by 2ft or even a bit more. You could try pulling it up and planting it in a shady part of your garden.

Yes - a fern; but it may be hard to dig out without digging up the whole rose, as it is right in the middle of it.

And the 'rose' needs a good pruning, and could be beyond salvation.
