    Spray them with preparatory Rose stuff; I use Rose Clear.  Do the underside of the leaves as well. You need to spray them regularly and thoroughly as I'm learning having inherited a load of roses in my newish garden.

    Dispose of any infected leaves and don't compost them or you'll spread the spores all over the place.

    I'm new to this rose business and I'm learning as I go along but defo spray and feed and they'll thank you for it.

    Early next year put a thick mulch around them, that might stop the spores from jumping into the roses when it rains:)
