Gita, the honeysuckle in your photo is L. americana.. that's the one I gave you, and I think you rooted a broken piece of it in water, too. The other honeysuckle I have is the coral honeysuckle, L. sempervirens, and yes its blooms are red. I stuck a bunch of cuttings that looked great before I left and now look crispy, so I will probably not have that one available this spring.

Here's the coral honeysuckle. Mine is an unknown cultivar from another DGer... I traded her some peach irises for it, because I knew Hart was looking for a coral honeysuckle... she sent me a little extra piece, which I kept, and it has flourished by my deck steps!
