Did you ever consider taking care of your rose bushes before now?
Like treat them for disease or feed them?
Apparently not.
Yes I did feed them last year, but I inherited them much in this
state from the previous occupant who was an elderly man who hadn't
been able to tend the garden properly, so last year I was not
focussing on it myself, just trying to keep it ticking over with
weeding and stuff. The roses were fed (Toprose) and watered and I
tried to contend with the black spot but not very well and now I'm
trying to learn how to do a proper job with it all, since I've never
had a garden of my own before and it's a rather steep learning curve
isn't it? I appreciate that I look like an idiot, largely because I am
one,
but I'm doing my best.

You do NOT look like an idiot at all. You look like someone trying to
learn about his garden and gardening. Everyone starts from a position
of ignorance, whenever they start.
Thanks, you're very kind 
Ian
