If the new part of plant is growing out of the root of plant, that probably is from the original rose that was grafted to with the Peace Rose. A lot of roses are grafted onto other root stock for various reasons.... I think it should be pruned off because it will not be a Peace Rose. If it is not grafted, I have been told that those root stalks should be pruned off anyway for the health of the bush. That's my meagre knowledge..hopefully more will comment with more.....
