If Talledega is described as rose red- then that is what I would consider that picture to be. But I also agree, that what they are posting is a RED color, not rose red by a long shot. I too have loved that red flower, but it is always too expensive for me. I don't believe I would spend as much on a rose red flower, as on a red one, because I just love the stronger colors better. Red, orange, yellow, purple - and not the pastel shades of those colors.~Jan
