You should be able to pull it out fairly easily, but you will have to continue to do this if it grows back. If it is tenacious, you can cut it off a couple inches from where it is coming up under the rose bush and carefully apply glyphosate to the vines.

Here is more (you can't use the boiling water because it might kill rose roots):
