I want RED, screaming red, not pink. Ruby Mediland is my latest (
surprised?) and it really is red, cherry red. So far it looks like a
good rose, but it's still a baby. Purple Buttons isn't pink either,
it's a deeper red, sure isn't purple, but a very nice dark color. So
I'm making progress.

Getting screaming reds isn't that hard. Depending on where you live,
try:

Kardinal
La Passionata
Legend
Ingrid Bergman
Avon
The Squire
Sir Donald Bradman
Velvet Arrow (if only I could find it again!)
Black Velvet

There are really plenty more to add to this list. These ones I've grown
myself, so I can attest to their colour.
