First 2 pics are of a fern leaf double red. The third is of what may be 'Karl Rosenfeld or Rosenfield'. The KR is a mature plant of probably 6 or 7 years. It may need to be dug next fall and divided since some of the roots are above ground level. I seem to recall an article in an APS bulletin discussing the fact that peonies will seek their own depth after the first year. I plant all of mine just below the surface due to our mild winters but it lets them push up eyes a bit early. An application of coarse cypress mulch seems to slow them down and helps avoid late spring freezes.
