    If it is only on the tips, I would just re-prune the branches back a bit, but it's not going to really affect the shrub if you don't. The leaves should crisp up and you can brush off the dead leaves from the branches. The shrub should put on quite a bit of growth quite quickly anyway, most of the earlier damaged leaves will dry off.

    There will probably be more frosts so leave your roses alone a week or three and then prune back to healthy, unfrosted shoots or buds facing outwards from the centre.
