It's most likely rose Black Spot, a common fungal disease in roses. Get an anti-fungal like Bayer's Alliete. First remove and discard far away all infected foliage then spray probably every week.

Your pictures are quite blurred, it's hard to tell. The dark brown edges might be leaf burn from too much sun and or fertilizer. I think I saw some white too which might be spider mite if it's not the anti-fungal you just sprayed.

i have not added fertilizer since a month because i trnsplanted them into another pot.... it could be leaf burn because they were placed on the roof which gets 10 hrs of sunlight... i have brought them in my lawn which gets 5 hrs...the white thingee is the fungicide.... well thanks for reply...will post the condtion after some time....
