Bright red geum varieties

Hi all, is there a geum which has totally 'post box' red flowers? As in not a hint of orange.
Thanks

I have been considering that variety.

It's nice and upright as well, which is perfect as I'm not going for the totally laid back cottage garden look.

Mrs Bradshaw is a scarlet red, at least it is in my garden. It does have a slightly lax habit though.

By scarlet do you mean plain red with no orange? Think I may go for these.
Thanks

This is my Mrs Bradshaw, a very bright red.

Wow, thanks. That's exactly what I'm looking for. Sold!

@mathewdavidbrown. Yes plain red. I love mine.

I have Mrs Bradshaw too and would describe it as proper scarlet.
