black beetles on rose

I have looked for information but cannot find out. I bought a rose bush the other day and it is covered in very tiny little black beetles. They are not attacking the leaves at all just all over the blooms of the rose. They are very small and, like I said, just on the flower or bud of the rose bush. Please could you help me?

Here are links with more information on identification on the beetle and treatments.
Neem Oil is a good choice for most infestations.
