Hello I am new to this site and don't know much about roses. I have found some bugs on my 'UNKNOWN' rose can someone tell me what they are? I have spotted them only in a few places, I want to stop them before they spread. Also would a water and dish soap bath remove them? Thanks much!

The Website Links section has several links to websites specializing in diseases and pests.

Those are probably cast skins from aphids. Just wash them off with water. Aphids are ubiquitous with roses. A blast with the hose sends them far enough way that they have trouble climbing back up again.
