Well, the human eye doesn't really see "red". We see orange and the absence
of green. The orange is pretty wide-band and includes the reds, but what we
perceive as red is really a processed color through our visual detection
system.

The bleed over into neighboring areas of the image indicate to me that the
red you see in the roses is near-IR. It may also have a very extensive
amount of reflectance in the UV band. Either way, there is a dramatic shift
in the focus point from normal color range.

Here is something to think about: It is possible that newborns do not have
a functioning auto white-balance. Those pea-green florescent lights are
actually seen as pea-green. No wonder they cry.
