Looks like thrips damage. Thrips favor red and purple blooms. Treatment has been discussed ad infinitum on this forum.

A very simple solution I've used before is Murphy's Oil soap and water. It's been a while, I believe it is one tablespoon per gallon of water. Spray it on the buds 4-7 days before bloom. Can be repeated weekly as needed.
