Rose pest

Can someone identify these little pests that are attacking my rose bushes? The picture isn't great, but will probably be enough for the experts on here.
At first I thought spider mites, but they don't look quite right, and they're on the flowers, not the leaves. There are some small holes cut in leaves, and a few yellow spots here and there, but nothing overly concerning.
The main problem is the blooms...they fade almost immediately.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
