Boo hoo faint black spots on my David Austin Olivia Rose, will it definitely be the dreaded Black Spot?

Yes, but it's not that bad really. Just clear up any fallen leaves and spray if you like with roseclear.
I always have a small amount of black spot, and it's not devastating for the rose

What @brighteyesburninglikefire says. The rose seems to shrug it off and come back as well as ever next year. Look on the bright side - the reason it’s getting more prevalent is that the air is getting cleaner.

all my roses have some degree of blackspot but never harms the flowers and they come back champion every year. I keep them well watered and make sure fallen leaves are disposed of

I have a little standard patio rose that gets black spot every year (even though I spray like crazy as soon as I see the first signs). By the end of the summer every leaf has dropped. Yet it flowers beautifully, and comes back every year.

It quite often pops up in my garden, as long as you don't let it get out of control its usually not a problem. I cut off any infected leaves when I see them, making sure to pick them all up from the ground and then disinfect the secateurs afterwards. I also read somewhere that keeping them well fed and watered, but not letting the water splash on the leaves is meant to help too.
