Evolution. Plants use insects and small animals to reproduce. A flower may have evolved red petals to advertise its nectar to pollinators - butterflies, bees, or hummingbirds. They would in turn pick up pollen and carry it to another similar flower. Another reason is that since red flowers are pretty, red roses for example, so selective breeding my have caused it. Mankind has been selectively breeding flowers for beauty since ancient times.
