3 reds by them selves in a terminal block - do not connect to light.
2 blacks to neutral of light.
1 black to live on light.
If the light you are fitting is metal, you MUST have an earth. Otherwise take it back.

But to be fair to Andy, crafty, if he did, why didn't he replace the wires as he found them in the old rose?
