No, it shouldn't, but you need to water them DEEPLY and fertilize them. It depends what kind of roses they are. Check with your local nursery about fertilizers. And though it's too late now, cut them WAAAAAAY back next winter, or whenever you do that in your area. They grow back much stronger and healthier. It gets to be about 100 degrees in the summer here, and my 25 rose plants love it. Deep watering is the key; install a drip system if possible. I did, and my roses love it.

Roses need full sun. They can get many diseases like mildew, and black spot if they are in mostly shade. It is HEAT that bothers roses and most other plants. In a climate where the summer temperature only falls into the high 80's at night plants cannot recover from the days heat. They use all their nutrients just surviving.
If you live in a hot summer area grow the old fashion roses. They are generally grown on their own roots which gives them more vigor. In hot climates roses benefit from afternoon shade, but they still need full sun for most of the day.

Here in Australia - the hot sunny place, you remember - we can grow roses brilliantly. The prevailing wisdom is at least 7 hours full sun, plus damp and rich soil. The dryer the days the better. Humid weather is not a blessing for roses. Use mulch to protect soil from drying out. Seek advice from local nurseries about local conditions, as the roses sold in your area may differ from our experience here.

It depends on your variety of roses. If you have a shrub rose the it shouldn't harm it. The benefit of shrub roses is that they are relatively low maintnance and can withstand extreme conditions. If you have a teacup rose (these are the most popular) then they are less likely to take it as well.
