It is commonly understood that arachnids have four pairs of legs, and that arachnids may be easily distinguished from insects by this fact (insects have six legs or three pairs). Interestingly, arachnids generally have a total of 6 pairs of appendages — two pairs of which have become adapted for feeding, defense, and sensory perception. The first pair of appendages, the chelicerae, serve in feeding and defense. The next pair of appendages, the pedipalps have been adapted for feeding, locomotion, and/or reproductive functions. In Solifugae, the palpi are quite leg-like and make Solifugae appear to have ten legs. The larvae of mites (and Ricinulei) have only six legs; the fourth pair appears when they moult into nymphs. However, there are also adult mites with six, or even four legs.
Spiders have 8 -LEGS- but 12 appendages.
chelicerae – serve in feeding and defense, they are the fangs.
pedipalps – the pedipalps have been adapted for feeding, locomotion, and/or reproductive functions.

. They are probably there because there are other bugs there that are eating your roses and they are eating the bugs that are eating the roses. So they are doing some good to be there. The black spots on the roses could be a common rose disease called “Black Spot.” Or it might be Anthracnose of roses. It is a big problem in the east this year and I have had several roses die and even a tree completely defoliate. We have had ideal growing conditions for the plant diseases. Too hot, too wet and then not enough rain. It has stressed the plant. If you have stress on a plant it is less likely to fight off diseases. It isn’t because of the spiders. If indeed you have Harvestmen which are also called Daddy Long Legs these aren’t really true spiders but they don’t eat roses. They are in the same family with spiders and they do feed on plant materiel but not to the degree that you are thinking. They may be eating the fungi on the roses. This is more likely. I left you a few links to look at to get an idea of what you might be seeing on your roses. You might re-post with a picture of the problem and or the spider so everyone could get a better idea and give you a better answer.
