Is it OK to do do it now? I know that it is a bit late but what else can I do since I wouldnt like to use fungicide? Thanks for your reply.

Well, you can always give it a go. Prune back to an outward facing bud well below the affected foliage. Give the rose lots of food.
Frankly I wouldn't hesitate to use a multipurpose Roseclear which both deals with the pest and feeds the plant.
