What causes black edges on rose petals?

There are a number of diseases that cause sunken, black, "mushy" lesions on rose leaves, primarily "black spot" which is a fungal disease.

Black margins on the rose petals can also be a fungal disease, but is more likely the result of physical damage to the tissue, since the flower petals are dead, and don't often act as host to pathogens.
