Tell them you launched a pre-emptive strike on the aphids and that control of the roses will be returned to the ladybirds as soon as you feel they are ready.
More seriously, though, I believe you can buy ladybirds these days as an environmentally friendly alternative to pesticides. If they haven't noticed yet, go and buy some more and place them out where you haven't sprayed and tell the kids the ladybirds have moved house. Then when they're older, you can explain to them what really happened (Just like when I found out that my cat hadn't really gone to live with the fairies at the seaside)
