Overwatering is definitely a possibility then, but discoloration would start on the leaf tips and be more consistent throughout, and typically more yellow, which makes me think it could be something more severe. It's hard to tell because of all the leaf breakage happening, though. Try cutting back on water for a few weeks, and if it doesn't get better you might be looking at an infection like Rose Mosaic. Hopefully not though!
Some others have suggested it's bugs. Either Rose Sawfliy or aphids.
Bugs would explain the breakage! Though this would have to be the most extreme case of rose sawfly I've ever seen, which is why I originally discounted it.
Apparently they are really bad this year where I live. At least that's what everyone else on the Internet thinks
