Default ants are eating the rose bud

Hi All

I am having this year something I've never seen befo the ants are eating
the only bud of my Ingrid Bergman. I know ants harvest aphids in roses, in
fact ants are harvesting them in the other nearby bushes (diferent variety)
but on this one, they are actually eating it, there are no remaining aphids
and they burrowed a deep hole on it.
I've checked in the newsgroup that this has happened to more people in the
past, but so far I didn't find an explanation or a remedy.
Anybody has some help?

thanks
Antonio
