These things are clustered on the stems of my roses below blooms and
buds, and they are all over my old gardenia, same position. When I
touch them, they fly or jump away--otherwise I would think they were
fuzzy fungus or something. Anyone know what they are? TIA.

We've got some whiteflies as well here in San Jose. They seem to like the
tomato and zucchini plants, far more then they like the roses. Spray
pesticide doesn't work very well, because they tend to hide on the underside
of the leafs.
