That one will grow to 5 metres tall so your canes are not really going to be enough to support it - in addition to the height the canes themselves will need support as the rose gets bigger and heavier.

They flower better if trained horizontally so perhaps put in a couple of extra canes and bend the shoots over. Different roses grow to differing heights - do you know what yours is?
