Romania is not yet a member of the Schengen zone, but intends to join. In the mean time holders of a multiple entry Schengen Visa do not need to apply for a separate Romania visa.

The Romanian ministry of foreign affairs mentions this:

Starting July 11, 2014, in keeping with the provisions of Decision No 565/2014/EU, Romania acknowledges as being equivalent to its own national visas, for transit and for stays up to 90 days per period of 180 days the following:

The two or multiple entry short-stay visa issued by a Schengen member state;

So if your Schengen Visa is a multi entry one, then you are ok to go.

Can I have 2 Schengen visas at the same time?

In theory, it is not possible for a person to hold two valid short stay visas covering the same period. I have a valid Schengen visa but it does not cover my next intended stay, what can I do? In this case, it is possible to file a visa application for another Schengen visa to cover the next intended stay entirely.

Can I apply for two visas for different countries at the same time?

Yes you can. No 2 countries share data with each other. Neither are they bothered about you applying visa at the same time. You can apply visa to N number of countries at the same time.

Does France give multiple entry visa?

If you make multiple short trips to France each year, you may, under certain conditions, be eligible to apply for a multiple-entry visa valid for anywhere from 6 months to 5 years. This visa is commonly referred to as a "circulation visa".

What happens if I exceed my 90 days in Europe?

The Schengen law states that you can't stay in the Area for more than 90 days. If you do, you're subject to a fine and possibly deportation and being banned from re-entering the Schengen Area.
