    Sounds like it's growing well, whatever it is. Yes, some kinds of vining plants can grow suckers.

    Growing roses from seed is not an easy task. There is a process that the seeds need to go through or they will not sprout. Please check out the article at this link for some help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/growing-roses-from-seed.htm

    My guess would be downy mildew: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/downy-mildew.htm

    I see some little pink blooms in there which is a good sign. Some of these bloom on last years growth, so pruning them back hard will eliminate blooms for that season. If you are fertilizing them make sure that the fertilizer being used is not high in nitrogen. The high nitrogen fertilizers will give you lots of growth but not many if any blooms. I would prune back some of the canes to thin the bushes out. Prune them back all the way to the ground. Leaving enough for a nice full look yet not overgrown looking. When new shoots come back in those areas, prune them off again before they get big again. This should help with the bushes being overgrown and allow more air circulation which is better for the overall health of the bushes.

    Animal manures need to be composted, at the very least allowed to dry for a year, before they can be used on your plants. This article will tell you more about using horse manure: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/composting/manures/horse-manure-compost.htm
