Perfect! Couldn't be better.
As you probably know, C. dowiana, as with most sympodial orchids, grows new roots almost exclusively from the rhizome of its new growth. If it were mine, I'd try to stimulate the new growth to begin ASAP using KepMax (and warmth if possible). This is just my preference and you may very reasonably disagree.
BTW, what is the hybrid?
