For every smooth del Pezzo surface $S$, smooth curve $C\in|-K_{S}|$ and $\beta\in(0,1]$, we compute the $\alpha$-invariant of Tian $\alpha(S,(1-\beta)C)$ and prove the existence of K\"ahler--Einstein metrics on $S$ with edge singularities along $C$ of angle $2\pi\beta$ for $\beta$ in certain interval. In particular we give lower bounds for the invariant $R(S,C)$, introduced by Donaldson as the supremum of all $\beta\in(0,1]$ for which such a metric exists.
