Default Ants and roses

Are ants hurt roses? I think some ants were using my rose pot as a home. When
I over watered, ants and tiny white grains came floating to the top. I kept
flooding the pot until I couldn't see them anymore.

Ants don't hurt roses themselves, but they will farm aphid colonies and
aphids will do considerable damage. It's best to keep them away from your
roses.

The tiny white grains you saw are ant larvae.
