Beginner Gardening: no gardening experience - just bought a desert rose... HELP!, 1 by Dellani_Oakes

I have two desert roses I picked up a couple years ago at a reliable nursery. I've never had any trouble with bugs, but today I noticed some on one of them when I was taking pictures of the first spring blooms. They look a little like lady bugs, with that hard, domed shell. They aren't red, they are kind of a green/ brown color, small as the head of a pin. Any clue what they might be and how to treat them? The nursery where I bought them has changed hands and they don't seem to know their ear from their elbow. They had no idea what they are. If you can zoom in on the tallest bloom on the right, they are quite visible. Thanks for any information you can give me.
