It depends on what's wrong. Maybe a rose spray would help if the problem is black spot. If it is, she'll need to clear away and destroy any fallen leaves - not in the compost bin!
Now's the right time to feed the roses, too - either blood, fish and bone, or a rose feed.

I would say it sounds like black spot too, and def follow Geraniums advice with disposal of the leaves and a feed.
If you spray with rose clear it should be done early morning or late evening as it can affect bee's.
