Pattyw5 said: I agree with Cindy that your description of growth sounds very much like rrd. RRD has been found in New York. To bad we didn't see a picture of the mother plant in 2014. Either way you should know when the rose leafs out in spring. At least rrd in not known to spread thru seed. Good luck!

Every year the mother plant gets a few of these conjoined hips. The offspring grown from seed was grown in my yard, the mother plant is at a park and Multiflora rose grows wild even in yards here. So if you say it's not passed on through seed the vigorous growth and crazy stems in offspring is probably genetic, it's looks very healthy but I will remember to share photos to show.
