MY ROSE BUD HAS A CLUSTER OF SMALL ORANGE BUGS ON IT. THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE DOING ANY DAMAGE. JUST WONDERING WHAT THEY ARE.

Could they be lady bugs? If so, they eat damaging insects like aphids, so they are definitely to be encouraged.

Great! A picture would be very helpful. You can post it here and I'm sure someone will be able to identify them. In what part of the US are you located? Knowing that would help, too.
