This one just opened and is quite reflexed which isn't it's normal look. If the bloom form improves I'll add more pics.

Sure is a nice full bush you've grown but I still can't tell what variety it is.....

No idea but that is a very healthy and robust plant you have there.

The ruffled bloom looks like Prosperity

It's not Prosperity. Hope I can snag one of those on the 30th.

Mystery bloom 3rd day. There are several photos of this cultivar's normal flower posted in the forum this year.

First bloom lasted 5 days. Second bloom opening this morning, looking slightly closer to normal appearance.  Third and fourth photos taken this afternoon.  This one is also currently in the online store in Multi-Color.

OK - I looked over the multi-colored list a bunch of times and this is still really hard.  I see the ruffling so that helps narrow it down.  I thinking Sleeping Beauty or Bonnie Lass.  It is so red that if it's SB that is really a cold weather effect.

Not any of those.  I'd never guess it if I hadn't seen the tag though today's pics are starting to hint at its identity.

One of the parents is Heavy Metal and Farmer D has posted several pictures of it.
