I could go into all the disease possibilities and their individual cures; however, I would recommend just going down and get some combined "Fruit tree spray" and follow the directions. It has fungicides, insecticides etc: at the right proportions and works fine in most every climate.
It is just that simple. If that does not solve all your problems, call the County Agent and have him recommend the best rose growers in your county to give you advice.

Unfortunately I can't tell you what's wrong because I can't see your plants. Black spot is one of the major problems of roses but you need to pinpoint what's wrong with *your* roses. You might want to consult a horticulturist in your area for the problm your roses are having. They can help you with acidity of soil, pest problems, mold and mildew on leaves etc. Good luck.

ok 1st of all u have to tell us where u live,like what state, it makes all the difference, and then u have to tell us more about what the disease looks likes so we can guess what to tell u to do, OR u can call ur county agriculturalist and ask or u can try home depot or lowes or a garden shop that sells roses. good luck
