I'd agree with nut's IDs Sam - but can't determine the tree. Is the wilting tree the same one you've shown when it was healthy looking? It's always a problem transplanting mature shrubs at this time of year when they're doing their thing. Normally you cut back a fair bit of the plant so that the roots have less top growth to support while they get established.
Congratulations on everything you've done so far - that's a smashing garden
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
The lady I got them off said the "tree" is a shrub that she's pruned to look like a tree. Maybe?! She was a bit bonkers so maybe she didn't know either
When I have moved shrubs at the wrong time of year and they have lost a lot of root, I scrape a little bank to make a 'moat' around them and give them bucketloads of water sveral time a day so they are basically sitting in water - almost treating them like a cut flower. This is not what you do normally, but sometimes it's all you can do to keep them alive long enough to actually have a chance of rooting.

I'd take the peony flowers off with long stems and put them in a tall vase of deep cool water and have them in the house. It'll help relieve the stress on the plants.
Also, just make sure you've planted the peopnies at the same depth as they were originally - they hate being planted too deeply.

Just a thought - does anyone else think the poorly 'tree' might be a lime? It has a look of that about it

I was thinking some type of Cornus, Fairy, but not sure about that at all.
