yes. my guess was those nasty aphids. Bastards is right.
They multiply so damned fast.
I bought some climbing roses a few years back only to find that they really are not meant to be grown in our zone.
So what I end up with is long strangly canes. Not very attractive so I have cut them down and am now growing them just as regular roses since they will at least flower this way.
I dislike very much when nurseries deceive buyers this way.
It was a local nursery and I will never go back there again. I should get the BEST service there by people who know what they are talking about not try and hand out their mistakes.
Anyway I love climbing roses alos and my intention was to have these roses climbing along with some of my clematis.
I do have some more clematis in bloom so I will try and get out whe it isn't raining and take some more pics.

You can kill them with my special mix of 3/4 water, 1/4 white vinegar and cover the bottom of a spray bottle with dish soap. Spray entire rose bush, under all leaves too with this, leave on over night and rinse off in the morning. All the bugs should be gone. I use this on all my roses and I have many and it really works. You may have to spray again in mid season, if they come back again.
