Hi Carolyn, 

Les fruits rouges is indeed the term used for 'red berries'

Take a look at this page which will list quite a few of them.

https://jardinage.lemonde.fr/dossier-839-fruits-rouges-jardin.html 

You may notice that one actual fruit uses the term 'baie' -

la baie de sureau noir elderberry

but 

la canneberge = cranberry 

But those fruit as a whole would be 'fruits rouges'.

Bonne Continuation !
