It sounds like black spot. They will come back fine next spring. Get stuff for black spot at your local nursery and follow the instructions.

I live in windsor ontario canada, my roses do this also, I've tried fungicides, but hate having to re-spray after rain. I got a product called earth crystal( pryoclitic clay) and I scratch a tsp around each plant in spring and water it in. I don't do anything else. My roses don't suffer from blackspot/powdery mildew, and if they are fragant it seems to enhance the fragance also. This product is 100% organic, it's fairly inexpensive, and available from any grotek dealer.

This Earth Crystal product might be my salvation. The neighbor is ravaged by black spot--she is the queen of weeds, believe me--so far, I am not infected but need some prevention. I cannot find this product on the web anywhere. Would you double-check maybe on the bag or box of this stuff exactly who is the manufacturer?
