Here are a couple of photos of the caterpillars that are munching my roses.

Sawfly (Nematus ribesii.) I get them on my Gooseberries every year.
You need to deal with them quickly as they will defoliate you rose incredibly fast.
I use Derris dust as I am organic but you could use a systemic.

Thank you for your response. I've been picking and squishing and also trimming and trimming. Hope to get them under control soon.
