can you post a picture of the plant's leaves?

There certainly seems to be a rose in there somewhere :-) But that corkscrew like tendril is confusing. I have never seen a rose produce anything like that and I am wondering if there is more than one type of plant involved. Those sorts of corkscrew tendrils are common to squashes and other cucurbits but I can't see any squash type leaves

I don't think that's a rose based on these photos.

It looks like the base of the plant is gray with red thorns and as it grows it's softens and turns green. The tendrils are definitely the same plant as it grows it tries to grab onto things. Here are a few more pictures

Possibly a kind of smilax, aka greenbrier.

Smilax species..not sure which without seeing leaves or flowers, but they're commonly called "sawbrier", as well as "greenbrier", for obvious reasons. Pestiferous and hard to control without chemical means, because any tiny piece of root will re-sprout. If you don't feel safe using chemicals, dig out what you can, and keep after the new growth (there WILL be new growth), removing it ASAP. Eventually, if you're diligent, you'll win. Maybe, lol.

Holy moly fig insantity! "If you're diligent, you'll win. Maybe" 

This crazy yard also has a few hundred square feet of bamboo, so we're fighting the good fight all over the place. 

Thanks everyone for your help! We'll get at it with the loppers and the Roundup.

Agree with fig, definitely not a rose. Is it evergreen? I have seen several people growing a similar vibe around their porches here in north Alabama and noticed it was evergreen during the winter. Looks nice when trained but a nightmare if unwanted.

I agree looks like smilax. Our goats love eating it!

Given the Smilax in the Camellia .... I’m feeling nervous about the ’bamboo’. Is that a definite id? Don’t suppose it could be Japanese Knotweed???

looks like smilax and the bad news is that you must dig up what can be a huge tuber to be rid of it. you can eat them but i suppose they're not enjoyed by most of us. careful, too, they also have thorns.

It is smilax and our roots are as big as the picture. This stuff is awful!

It reminds me of PAoK's roots. Good luck with the smilax and the, ugh, bamboo. Diane

Sorry, I could resist.
