Hey y'all!
So I took y'all's advice and attempted to replant my mini roses. Well in the process of gently digging up the roots I found a small new leafy cane/stem (not sure what to call it), so I gently broke it free of the main root system and replanted it in a little pot. It's doing all right in the little pot but I'm wondering is it possible to start a whole new bush or will I just get one rose from it?
I tried researching it myself before asking here but all I was getting was rooting from a cutting and that's not it. This little guy has a decent set of his own roots.

Any advice on how to care for it going forward and anything else y'all can tell me is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Yes, you will get a completely new rose bush. That's fantastic! It's possible they had more than one rose in the pot, but some varieties will spread by roots or will easily root when a tip or part of the stem is buried by soil. It's a great way to propagate roses and other types of plants.

Awesome! There was one more little guy but I left him with my mini's. The little container that the mini's came in I still have and it doesn't say a specific type. All it says is mini rose grown by VWI Mills River, NC. Are there many different varieties of mini roses?

Yea I guess that was a pretty dumb question..
So let's phrase it like this..
Is it possible to look up where it was grown and see what mine is called (besides a pink mini rose bush)

I had a friend years ago in Virginia who went by 'Minnie' who grew lots of miniature roses. I called her garden "Minnie's many minis".

Congrats! Your little cutting will grow into a beautiful new bush with time. Most of those minis sold in grocery store don't come with names. Some of them have names but the growers don't supply them to the sellers. That way they can substitute any pink rose they have on hand to fill their orders from the stores. You might be able to go online to the growers site and see if they have named roses listed. But, from there all you can do is try and match your rose to one of the names listed. It isn't easy. As Mike said, there are thousands of roses and the majority if them are PINK! Unless yours has some kind of distinctive trait it will be very difficult.

Brittany,
I found that when you buy the mini roses from grocery stores that there are at least five plants per pot. Such a deal! Not sure if this applies to your mini rose. I found one grower in Canada where I was able to match one of my store bought roses to one they produced. It was exciting to put a name to it. The wholesale nurseries can be hard to find online unless you know the exact name of the nursery.
