they all but Roots, look like mites to me. When the plant is that small, I use Neem oil. I make sure I spray the leaves totally, esp on the back. It usually takes one spraying if I do it well. You need to get them right away for they will spread so fast!!! I follow up with that rose food with systemic insecticide. But beware, that stuff sure can burn your brugs if you use too much.

If I even suspect mites, I treat. Not worth waiting for once they get a good footing into your collection it is tough to get rid of them.
