New canes or Suckers?

Hi there!

I am new to roses, just bought my first Heritage this spring and it's now in the ground. It took about 2 months for it to do anything but in the past week we had like 3 days of rain and now it's shoots are coming in quickly and nicely. I do have a question. The place I got the rose from is RU and it's an own root. It's got these new canes? coming out from the bottom of the stem and it looks like they are actually coming from the stem itself on the bottom.

I did contact them and they told me it's new canes I should let them go.

Has anyone else had something like this with Own root , please advice. I don't want to accidentally find out that those are suckers and watch the main rose die.
