What's that sticky stuff on my roses?

I noticed this morning that there's a clear sticky filmy stuff on my
roses. If you touch the leaves it will stick you. They look fine and
healthy. I sprayed them last week with miraclegrow. I fed them from
top to bottom just the way the instructions said. Did that leave a
film?
Thanks.
Sounds like a symptom due to aphids. Carefully examine the growing
tips. I found that roses grow best with organic fertilizers,
alternating every 2 weeks (composted cow manure, composted chicken
manure, fish emulsion, seaweed, compost, etc.).
