Great color!

Do you need to desaturate the red in Photoshop to avoid over-saturated? Since I found it's quite easy to over-saturated by red flowers, like lotus, to make the details lost.

And did you use a off-camera flash?
I usually increase contrast and reduce brightness and I end up with the colour the Rose is without loss of detail. Then I clean up any noise and use a touch of sharpening. As far as Flash goes I don't , I just use natural light as I feel there are less chances of colour blowouts.
