Eastern leaf footed bug.

Thank you! After reading about them, I see that one of the solutions is to drown them in soapy water. I know what I’ll be doing this evening.

Are they harming your plant? It looks perfectly healthy to me.

They don’t seem to cause major damage, but the rose blooms are brown around the edges as seen in this picture.

Are you sure it's from those bugs? That happens on some of my roses and those bugs are rare in my garden. You're going to do whatever you're going to do I guess, but it seems extreme to go killing your wildlife when you don't even know if they're doing any damage to your garden. That looks more like thrips damage anyway.

No, I’m certainly not sure, especially since I don’t spray.

Then why kill them?

Well, they received a reprieve. It's much too hot right now to go outside and do anything for more than five or ten minutes. I do have concerns about the bugs since I read that fire ants prey on their eggs. The last thing I need is more fire ants in my yard. I'm very allergic to their bites.
