Answer
Don't panic as you may be able to save them if you cut them right back to about 12 inches, take ALL the leaves off and then and then water daily and see if you can dilute the insect spray. Taking the leaves off will put the rose bush into a dormant state for about a week and stop making new leaves. However when the bush starts to wake up will produce normal new growth if it hasn't been permanently damaged. If they still don't put out normal growth then grit your teeth and cut them right back to 3 inches. This is drastic but it just may save them. Don't give them any fertilizer as they are suffering already from a chemical burn. It may take about a month before they are back to normal but don't give up as the 3 inches could be the answer. Roses are able to grow back from one inch of canes.
