Insects on rose buds

I was just examining my roses and found ants so I assumed there were aphids and I was right but along with them were
tiny insects with wings, almost as small as the aphids. I was able to squash them easily and I thought they may be adult rose sawflies but when I looked them up it appears that sawflies are larger than these. Does anyone have a clue as to what they may be?

Some mature female aphids have wings. If they were sedentary and looked like aphids, they were aphids.
