Looks fungal to me. I would just let it do its thing and come back in the spring, being careful to pick up any lost leaves.
If there’s other bushes nearby you’re afraid of infecting then i would cut it back, or spray it with captan depending on your views on that sort of thing
You can dead head the blooms but I’m not sure they’d come back this late in the season.
