Hi Dear Gardner friends 
I do not know what to do with this poor state of my Rose's. See attached photos. They all have the same disease. Please help me bring them back.
Many thanks

    Looks like black spot, a fungal disease exacerbated by humid weather we have had of late.  You can spray with an antifungal. Make sure you clear any leaves as they fall, and do not leave them to rot and overwinter.

    Rust perhaps?

    I would certainly clear the weeds or plants from around the stem.

    I think it is rust. There are sprays to help but it might be good to Google this condition and also to check that you are providing what the roses need to resist infection. I know parts of the country are flooded but if you are in a drought area, lack of water may be making things worse.

    Here in the UK.  The recent weather conditions have added to the gardeners problems.  Varying changes in humidity has offered a welcoming hand to various fungal problems.  Black spot and rust being the most evident.  Sad to say.  When your plant exhibits signs of fungal attacks.  It's too late.  Basically what you, your plant has now got, can't be cured.  Measures can be taken to perhaps reduce the spreading.  Remove affected leaves and burn them, also fallen leaves.  Spores of fungal infections can and do live on in the surrounding soil.  Spraying will not cure the present problem.  It will help in perhaps preventing further attacks.

    Good sound husbandry suggests.  At the start of the growing season, spray etc as a precautionary measure.  Repeat often.

    You might want to think twice before reaching for the fungicidal sprays

    Growing resistant varieties in good conditions is the way forward. 😊

    I would remove all the leaves (but don't put them on any compost you are making or in your Council green bin). Take out all the weeds/plants around the rose. leaving a clear space around the main stem and water it really well, unless you have had heavy rain lately.   Get some bagged manure and spread it about 3-4 " thick on the clear ground around the rose, leaving a small gap around the main stem. Keep well watered (2 gallons once a week) unless you are having very wet weather.  Hopefully, the rose will perk up and grow new green leaves. Good luck.
