The mints are one of the most invasive of plants (as you have found out). Short of digging up the roses and using a strong herbicide on the mint--.
An herbicide spray over the bare soil may sound like a simple solution over waiting one month and tediously removing emerging mint plants, but you don't want to take a risk that the herbicide could damage your roses.
Another option is to mow the mint and cover the area with a layer of newspaper four layers thick. The newspaper will smother the roots and eventually kill the mint, but this takes a full growing season to ensure success.
Here is some information for you! Good luck Juanita!
