how I do it:
shoot raw with dialed negative EV compensation, usually -1 EV, then in Lightroom: first shift the exposure with fill light and brightness to get the whole picture exposed correctly - this overexposes the reds, then in HSL module I lower the luminance of red and (when needed) orange channel to the point red is not overexposed, and after that use the brush with some + 20 to +30 brightness adjustment to locally brighten the reds as needed
it is time consuming to do with a lot of pictures but works good for me
few output examples here:

for print, I would add more brigtness to these pics because they would look too dark (except for the last one), they are just fine on the LCD
you can see some little overexposure in those reds, well, I am not a master yet <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

That is actually a good way. I do it this way myself though I mostly use a color converting tool I bought in the iTunes App Store. What I often do is order [url="http://www.serenataflowers.com/Flowers-online"]internet flowers uk[/url] and then I make about two days of photography session and then two days of retouching session. I love processes like that... I always feel so inspired this way.
