The foliage looks fine .. it probably is the heat and humidity .. roses particularly and other plants will do this under those conditions. If it were my plant I'd cut off all the flowers AND buds and give the plant a rest. It take a lot of energy from a plant to produce flowers and even more energy to make seeds.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
