Thats what mine looked like too. It appears as of the damage is on the the top surface of the leaf until you turn the leaf over..and see the damage is actually on the underside.

The point I was trying to make about the rose leaves is that the damage you see is probably not visible on the underside, like on the tomato leaves. You may want to try googling thrip damage on tomato leaves. I know I read somewhere that the damage on the underside of the leaf causes the appearance of disease on the upper leaf surface.

I do remember that I sprayed with neem oil a couple of times and the problem didnt continue. The new growth looked normal. This was last year and the conditions were so hot and dry that I didnt get many tomatoes. Obviously, I let mine go a little longer before I took pictures.
