Awfully burned (0)

Hi everyone. This is more to learn than to show a picture. It was 2pm, very sunny, certainly not the best time to take pictures. Nevertheless I took some not too bad pictures on that day. But for the flowers in red. The red are just burned. This picture was shot in aperture mode, using f2.8 but I got roughly the same results using f16 (see workshop). I saved in raw, no treatment was made but reducing the size.

You are all very good at manipulating images. I know it’s not possible to transform a bad picture into a good one. What I like to understand is
1. what to do to minimize the risk those burned color to appeared ?
2. what can I do to reduce the red saturation (but Hue/saturation/Red) ?

Your help will be appreciated

Same red problem at f16

as described in the note this picture was taken the same day. Greens are ok but reds are burned. Changing f2.8 for f16 didn't change a thing
