I don't quite understand your post. It sounds like your husband removed the roses, and now new canes are coming up from where the old roses used to be?

If my interpretation of your post is correct, what has come up is the rootstock, which is probably a rose called 'Dr. Huey'. It blooms on old wood, so you may see some flowers next spring. 'Dr. Huey' only blooms once, in spring.
