Photo from internet, but my plant is worse! They're almost like perfect semi-circles on all the leaves. What causes it?

Looks like the work of leafcutter bees.... I believe roses are frequently targeted...

Thanks for replies. My rose bush is about 40 yrs old. Got it from my mother in law. It has strong scented roses. I just knew it wasn't greenfly.
