Default Blown out reds?

So I'm reasonably well versed with blown out highlights, but I had no idea you could blow out specific colours? In the picture below, the red tulips are just red (no shades of red). I'm guessing that should this happen again, I should be shooting a stop or two down and underexpose to get the full range? (Then if I want the flowers plus the background, some kind of HDR shot would be in order). Does this reasoning make sense?
