These are not eggs, they are rose leaf galls caused by the spiny rose gall wasp (Diplolepis bicolor) larva that encases itself inside the gall and then matures and chews a hole in the gall to escape in spring, laying its eggs on a newly emerged leaf bud. The larvae generate the gall in the fresh leaves, perpetuating the cycle.
Remove the galls in late summer ...

Yes--this is possible and has been done, e.g.:
DNA barcoding identifies Eimeria species and contributes to the phylogenetics
of coccidian parasites (Eimeriorina, Apicomplexa, Alveolata) (doi: 10.1016/j.ijpara.2011.03.007)

Well known for being invasive pests of many plant species, and being capable of transmitting a number of plant viruses. Which of the many species this would be, I don't know, but likely a common one like the Onion Thrips (Thrips ...
