Both Portugal Laurel (which is what it is) and Privet are prone to honey fungus, and I fear that is what has caused the damage. Sadly they...

Definitely not vine weevil, but not too sure what it is though! Probably small snail or small caterpillar/sawfly larva, or perhaps physical damage...
I grew Baron Giraud de L'Ain a few years ago, but threw it away. I've never had a rose get black spot so badly. What a shame, as the flower is...
