That is from the chemical over spray

Listen to Vaporvac. Don't be too hasty with the shovel. It would be sad if the bushes were still showing herbicide damage only. Give them a bit more time and look for heavy spination, bronze/red foliage, and extremely foreshortened growth to develop if they are indeed Rose Rosette Disease victims.

The two poorly looking bushes may have gotten far more herbicide on them than the others. I can attest to accidental herbicide sprayed on roses, even a tiny amount can show enormous effects, and for a good while until full recovery. Happened to me, and the bush today is stellar.

I went back and looked, and your OP on this was late August, so it could be from that spraying. Also, are you sure that the HOA gardeners haven't sprayed again?

Thanks so much you three…I will listen to Vaporvac and Moses give them more TLC… and time. Though there was no red, I felt certain all would agree it was likely rose rosette.

Really do appreciate your thoughtful replies.
