Roses have no nectar. So could somebody please explain to me what this one is doing on roses?

Checking them out. Hummers are attracted to bright colors and have a strong tendency to investigate brightly colored objects of all kinds. Also, they eat tiny arthropods as well as nectar--they can't live on sugar alone--and it's possible your birds was prospecting the roses for insects and spiders.

You are probably right about insects. Thank you.
