If your lilacs stand on their own roots, you'll get the hybrid: same roots,
same stems. If they stand on another rootstock, this'll probably be growth
from the rootstock. Check for a graft union on your oldest/biggest stem/trunk.

Cutting and planting lilacs from suckers is easy. I did it with a fragrant
bright white lilac last summer and the little guy came through the worst
winter for desperately cold beginning and end in living memory just fine. I
hope for first bloom in two more years.
