Here are 3 of my favorite "purples". My camera has a difficulty in capturing purples. Sometimes I can do it in the shade but in sun, they become too pink.

Midnight Blue. Very small blooms can be very purple in varying shades as it ages.

Silver Star was a gift from a forum member. It blooms well and is a favorite.

Ebb Tide has an amazing number of blooms. They are a good size and can be very purple in cooler weather. It smells great, too.

I am amazed at how many buds on all of them. I'm making the planting holes for 24 new roses, my soil is alkaline at pH of 7.7. If you have any planting tips or feeding tips, please inform. I would love to get good results like yours.
Thank you.

Your camera may not capture the purples right, but most of these blooms are almost in 3 D.
They are so alive looking.

Thanks all for the nice comments. Just a word of warning. Ebb Tide has too many buds for a standard! Really. The branches need propping.
