Aphids on cultivated rose Aphids on cultivated rose

I think there are 2 species here.
The larger pink one with the dark siphunculi looks like Macrosiphum rosae, but the smaller greens ones look like they have slightly swollen siphunculi as Wahlgreniella nervata does. The winged specimen in the other picture is teneral, it's exoskeleton hasn't fully hardened from it's last molt, so not sure which it is.
