So many of the reds I've tried turn out to be some version of rose red, but I do have some that I believe are true reds.
HOME OF THE FREE - Love this one! I thought TALLADEGA would be this color from the hybridizer's photo, but it turned out to be a deep rose red. And I'm very pleased with HOME OF THE FREE!
DRY HEAT by our own Lyle! Not the best picture or bloom, unfortunately, but it comes from Phoenix so you know the meaning of the name, and the plant has been doing great in our heat. I hope Lyle chimes in here with a better picture of this fantastic daylily!
CARY GRANT - I received this as a gift plant and I love it!
MELISSA BEGNAUD - This picture is actually from my visit to Maryott's last summer, but I loved it so much that I purchased one this summer. I can't quite remember, but Melissa may have a hint of rose in her -- totally forgivable in this gorgeous daylily IMHO!
CORRALITOS ROSE - One of Bill Maryott's recent introductions that I really like, and there is very little rose (if any) in it to my eye.
RENDITION - Another recent Maryott intro
COMING ALIVE - New 2012 intro from Maryott's -- and all of these last three were gift plants, if you can believe it!
And in the deeper red range:
FABULOUS FRIEDA - Love love love this one! And I'm including the last totally fuzzy picture because the true color in the shade is close to that.
EMPEROR'S ROYAL RED
And two of Grace Stamile's little Broadway's:
BROADWAY PLAYER
BROADWAY BLOODSPORT
And two that are quite different:
WISPY RAYS
DOUBLY HOT by Bill Maryott - This one turns more orange as the day progresses.
