It kind of depends if the rooster has two copies of rosecomb gene (R/R) the off spring should all be rosecomb, maybe with alittle smaller comb. But if the rooster has only one copy (R/r) then 50% of the offspring will be  rosecomb and the other half single comb.

Yep, as said. But chances are most will end up with rose combs, but they'll be a little "modified" from the original appearance of a pure rosecomb, especially if from a well bred example.
