We have been offered for removal the roses we planted at our farmhouse twenty years ago!
Many of them have graft calluses 20 inches across and only single branches.
I'm wondering if they will respond well to transplanting.
If the answer is yes, should we cut the callus back as we will the root system.

I wouldn't cut the callus back, only the stems or branches and would save as much as I could from the roots! Give the roses a good start with clean (watered) roots, new soil, maybe mycorrhiza (rootgrow) and plenty of water the first years.
Only the rotted manure, compost or other fertilization should NOT touch the roots!
Just fertilize after covering the roots with soil as the ground is leveled. (and mix it with a handcultivator)
Good luck!
