Nutritional deficiencies on rose leaves in west coast FL?

We have had a ton of rain, as much as six inches in one day. I'm not exactly sure what is wrong, but some of my roses have their older leaves turning variegated in a distinct pattern:


This is older leaves on Devoniensis shrub


Lady Hillingdon showing same thing but a few leaves are looking burnt.


This is Marie Pavie. Odd whatever that is.


Duchesse de Brabant, showing very light green leaves on older leaves, but not everywhere on plant.


Mrs. Dudley Cross looking like its on edge having leaves turn.

As you may have noticed, I have silty sand for soil. I am getting ready to bring in horse manure and cover that with pine straw for much. The soil PH is 7.0. I am guessing that there is a magnesium deficiency and maybe nitrogen? I have added Epsom salts and it hasn't helped at all. Our rain is almost every day and drainage isn't a problem at all. Our temps are reaching into the 90s so things can dry up fast. I would appreciate your take on what is going on with leaves? What to do?Thanks!
