Can you identify this rose-eating caterpillar/worm?

This picture shows some caterpillars on a rose plant in my garden. I was thinking about cutting off this section of the plant, as they have already eaten all the leaves here (you can see the bare stems), but I wasn't sure if they grow into something "constructive", or are just pests. Does anyone know what kind they are?
It's a rose sawfly, a parasitic wasp larvae. You can pick them off by hand if there are not too many, or use a bifenthrin spray (Doff) if there is a heavy infestation.
They don't grow into anything "constructive", they are a pest to be nobbled!
