Hello Margaret! Nothing major wrong. Some laurels in my gardens have suffered this - basically a fungus/blackspot. I experimented with Rose Clear and found it definitely works, so whenever I spray roses and such, I always also spray laurel, honeysuckle and photinia (red robin). Before spraying, water plant base well, as drought will weaken the plant, then wait until sun is going down and bugs and bees have gone to bed!

Thank you so much for your response, I will certainly try this. Your advice is very much appreciated as my knowledge is very limited, so here's hoping! Thanks again.
