As much as I like the idea, I wouldn't hold my breath. There are basically only two options for a Rose-Red character: 1) Snow White's best friend, which would be a lot like Ruby and also would be weird since Snow is no longer main cast; or 2) an entirely new and unrelated character with a sister who is also and completely coincidentally named Snow-White, which be confusing and most TV shows avoid having two characters with the same name unless it's used for comedy or plot reasons. The second is the most likely example (particularly when you take Ursula into account), but I still doubt it since they've already done their take on the tale once and it's not particularly popular (unlike other stories that have been done multiple times like The Little Mermaid and Aladdin). After they set up the Red Queen to be one of Cinderella's stepsisters and then later reveal she isn't apparently, I thought maybe they could do an entirely different take on Rose Red who has no actual relation to Snow White, and possibly be a new villain as well. The thing with Rose Red is I just don't think she is well known enough to be given major focus. Which is probably why they went with the allusion with Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White to begin with.
