Any recipes for red roses?????

[lynn's lampwork]

I have tried every transparent red and I STILL can't come up with a good recipe for red roses! I make a lot of the usual fuchsia roses (white encased with rubino), yellow roses (opal yellow and rubino), etc., but when I use a ANY transparent red over white it comes out orange!!!

ANYONE have any help for me on this red rose issue???:cry:

Thanks very much~

Powder pink and rubino makes a nice dusty rose. A dark pinkish coral and rubino makes an almost red rose.

For a true transparent or opaque red Lauscha red stays red.
