Nema problema.

I am rather seasoned by being in this forum for some time now!

Back in the older days when this kind of things were more discussed I should have asked the one showing the image for a RAW version that I could play around with in SPP.

One problem is that people often have no clue. They say that the image they show is not processed. But it is, manually or automatically. So, the desaturated image with a red rose migh have been taken with lower saturation or the auto function might have done something when seeing the rose or it is actually under exposed and at least for the older sensors, Sigma did desaturate under exposed images and high ISO images.

One reasonable thing that might have happened during processing is that the rose clipped the red channel and then, automatically or manuall, the "exposure" slider is decreased. And then, to avoid the rest of the image to be extremely dark, using "fill light" or "shadow compensation". And, voila, the greens have lower contrast.

Of course, low contrast is not the same as low saturation. But anyhow.

All makes sense to me
