Want dark red flowers

 
Hi All, - first post.  I have been gardening for years now and have
become obsessed with colour more and more.  I am trying to find a
plant/shrub that will climb a 5' foot fence but be able to keep it under
general control.  I have decided that I want dark red ie. crimson
flowers in the spring to offset the colours around it and wondered about
a Chaenomeles Japonica 'Crimson and Gold'.  I wondered if anyone had one
and could verify that the flowers are indeed crimson not red/tomato
red/scarlet etc.  I have been caught out like this before and bought
plants which are not truly the colour I was after as printing techniques
do not always accurately show the colour.  Thanks anyone.
