How to grow Purple Roses.
Place purple roses in an area with full-sun for at least six hours a day with some afternoon shade. This will prevent water from resting on leaves, causing black spots.
Plant roses in well-drained, loose soil with a pH range of 5.5 to 7.0. Test your soil for pH levels. Add any necessary amendments to the soil to establish the correct pH range. Add 2 to 4 inches of organic matter, such as peat moss, manure or humus, to a depth of 12 inches to provide nutrients for purple roses as well improve drainage problems.
Ensure that the roses get 12 to 18 inches of water weekly. Prevent water from splashing onto the foliage by watering with a soaker hose around the base of the rose bush.
Apply a 2- to 4-inch layer of organic mulch, such as shredded bark and pine needles, around the purple rose bush, leaving space around the base of the rose.
Fertilize with a rose food fertilizer such as 10-10-10. Apply once before roses bloom and again in the middle of their bloom season. Apply 1 cup of fertilizer around the base of the rose bush, without touching the stems, and water it in well
