what you have is a disease called black spot because of all the rain you have had . I went last yr to home depot and got some insectiside to spray on them . Go to lowes or home depot and they will be glad to help you .

It may not be a bug at all...
Make sure that when you water the roses, you do not get any water on the leaves, especially overnight. This black spot is actually a fungus, I believe, that grows when the leaves get wet.
To get rid of it, you have to pluck the leaves off of the plant and throw them in the garbage. DO NOT compost them or leave them on the ground.

If you really want to make sure what you are dealing with, take a leaf or two to your nearby nursery. They will be able to tell you if it is a disease or a mite problem and they can suggest different products depending on their diagnosis.
Good Luck
