True red is rough. Most lean to the purple side. Bourbon, Niobe, Vino, Ruutel - all are closer to purple here. I hope others chime in with their favorites.

Clear pink - Hagley Hybrid. In shade it looks more like light lavender to my eyes.

Great pink edges on a white flower - Omoshiro. (Leans toward mauve on the reverse side.)

Purple large flowered - my favorite would be Venosa Violacea and it's purple with white.
