Information Collection about Purple Roses

Purple Roses Mean:

Purple roses primarily stand for enchantment. The giver of the purple rose seeks to convey that he or she has fallen in love with the recipient at the very first sight. A deep magnetism and charm that makes the recipient almost irresistible is what the purple rose seeks to convey.

 The very first meeting has totally enticed the sender of these flowers, who simply cannot resist the object of his desire.
Though purple speaks of enchantment, the meaning of the purple rose nowhere suggests permanence. The enchantment can be transcendental and can also be fleeting. As the word "enchantment" suggests, the effect is almost magical, and can also die off without much warning.

The purple rose has certain other meanings. Opulence, glory and majesty are some other interpretations given to the purple rose. Purple being a color of elegance and grandeur, it only fits that the rose also pays tribute to these characteristics. 

The most widespread meaning of the purple rose is enthrallment, especially at first sight. And though there is no indication of permanence in this attraction, there is definitely a deep impression created. So, the next time you are bowled over by someone at first sight and feel totally enthralled, remember to send him or her a few purple roses. 

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.
