I had to cheat to make the smoky red come out right in the picture: I applied a filter. That made the red pretty accurate, though it turned the green of the surrounding foliage bluer than it actually is!

That's the trick! Red in roses is very hard to capture. Best shots in the early morning light and not in the blazing sun around noon. In the evening the red color is often already bleached.

Great tips. I keep mine in a pot half shaded by the canopy of a yoshino cherry tree to avoid bleaching. Not that in this part of the world (South-East England) the sun is particularly strong. That bloom was still nice and dusky even when fully open a few days later.
