Are these bare roots healthy to plant

Hello
I ordered two bare root roses from Jackson and Perkins and I was ready to plant them until I noticed a couple of issues. On the Voodoo rose there seems to have been an uneven cut on the main stem. My concern is that this will make it more susceptible to disease. On the other rose there is some sort of cloth that the roots have grown around and it is now attached to the root ball. Plus this rose has stems that are touching with a thorn from one stem already cutting the other. Are these healthy enough to plant or should I return them?
