Hollyhocks are notoriously prone to lots of different rusts, I'm guessing yours have got one of those. You can spray against it , I usually just pick off any affected leaves as soon as I see them.

You can also try plenty of dilute food to encourage them to outgrow the rust. Although it doesn't spread to other plants, you should get rid of the plants at the end of the season.

That is definately rust.
