Red/white isn't used to describe a colour in the UK although it is used in the US and Australia I think to refer to deep orange particolours - here you will see a range of shades of orange but they will all be registered as orange as the KC does not allow the use of red/white or red roan. Here is the list of acceptable colours for registration in the UK:

I've just seen that you are in Sweden so it may be the Swedish KC does allow Cockers to be registered as red and white - not sure about that sorry.

Yes Gemma is a red with white markings (due to particolour ancestry) - she'd be registered as red as she's a solid rather than a particolour herself :D

Yes in Sweden red and white are ok to register but there is not ok to register red roan for some reason. There are instead called orange roan or lemon roan.

IF you have one orange roan color, and a orange/white colour  shouldnt it. be a solid orange allso?

For example:

Red, red/white and red roan

Orange, orange/white and orange roan

Lemon, lemon/white and lemon roan

???? I just searching for some logic here...

There is no logic - it comes down to convention and tradition :D
