Default Deformed rose

A customer has just brought these in, asking us if we know what is wrong!
It's supposed to be Madame Isaac Pereire. Apparently every flower, bar one,
is like this. All they have done is feed it last September with a
ready-prepared solution so no incorrect mixing or dilution is involved.
They say neither they nor their only neighbour have used any sprays or weed
killers. If anyone recognises these symptoms and can put a name to them,
we'd be very grateful. I've promised them that someone will have an answer
for them!

Some of my roses, the old ones rescued from between East & West Germany did
the same thing last year.
My garden is probably too shady for them, so I put it down to that.
