Might be. I don't remember the neat distinction between outer and inner petals, and the second photo is definitely too pink (but I imagine that's technology / lighting). The leaves are the 'correct' mid green. Do you know what it's called?

The second one is over exposed. No idea what it's called . I think I might have brought it with me from my old house a neighbour gave it to me and we've been here well over 20 years . I'll try and get some better pics tomorrow . I don't know if there's any unopened buds left, but they weren't huge.
They are the right ones. @B3, I think yours is right too, just perhaps a slightly more refined form
I have some photos of the one I found. Like everyone else, these plants were in this garden when they moved in and they don't know what they're called. This is definitely the one I'm looking for though
The top two pictures are closest to the real colour - the bottom photo has come out a bit too pink.

My mum has this in her garden, it was there when she moved in and I have walked past countless houses with it in their front gardens. We live in an area developed post ww2 so I think I know which one you are talking about. Sadly she doesn’t know the name but we think it could be Old Fashioned or Rubra Plena.
It sounds like the same kind, @Aero84. Everyone knows it, no one knows the name! I'm starting to lean toward Rubra plena again. That's certainly the closest, and it might even be right. @Greenbird, the one you have on order isn't Rubra plena, is it? Thanks all for your help in my quest.

I just realised the first one we thought it was is called old faithful not old fashioned. Sorry about that. This photo was the one that we thought matched what it looks like the best.
