Paeonia × suffruticosa
Took the picture during the plant market in the Freilichtmuseum Hessenpark in May 2018.
Intersectional hybrid of Paeonia, variety name: "Scarlet Heaven", Flower color red.
In Germany this family of plants is called Pentecost Roses because they bloom at Pentecost.
"Paeonia" × "suffruticosa" is a name used for a group of cultivars of tree peonies that are the result of hybridisation with species exclusively belonging to the subsection Vaginatae. Plants belonging to this group have been cultivated for millennia in China, initially only as a source of traditional Chinese medicine particularly the skin of its roots.
