I noticed yesterday what looked like saw dust all over the buds on my roses (sorry didn't get a picture of this). I read to hose them off and last night I did. It worked very well and today there is no more dust and only a few of what I think are Aphids. But I have holes on the leaves and found that the rose is full of at least five different bugs as well as brown leaves starting to form. I have picked off the warms (not sure if they are Sawfly). But I am sure there are more. The Aphids seem to come back here and there as I checked on it through out the day today.
Here are some pictures of my invaders on my Roses at this link:

It is actually a Romantica Climbing Rose, color Lunar Mist. Can anyone help me identify these bugs as well as the brown leaf problem?
Will getting Nematodes and Lady Bugs get rid of all of the bugs? Is is there another better organic route? I read about using flour on the Sawfly in another post.
What can I do about the brown leaves? What causes it? Is this natural?
I figured the pictures might help others identify their problem too. I haven't found a lot of pictures out there to help me:(
