My beloved planted some deep purple roses - I don't have the name as of yet -
and after the second bloom the color is a lighter shade of purple.

I'm thinking that the PH of the soil, clay and planting soil mixed might be
altering the color.

What does the knowledge base have on this ?

I'll pursue the name - there is a tag on the plant.

I know some plants move like litmus paper - pink acid and blue base. I think
I have a rose working like that to a lesser amount.
