I think that the first one is a Rose of Sharon -- which technically is a hibiscus.

There are another number of cultivars that the rose next to it could belong to.

The third one might be a species rose of some sort. A species rose is one of the original native roses that existed before fancy hybrids and double-petaled flowers were developed. The advantage to having one of then original cultivars is that it will produce plenty of rose hips. The double-petaled roses lose some or all of their flower parts,. so they won't produce rose hips. smiley - sadface

Our guess over here was: hibiscus, gardenia, anemone?

I usually try to get a good look at the leaves, but that was hard with these pictures, enlarge them as I might. If the third one might be an anemone, that would go well with the shape of the leaves, though it could also be a cranesbill geranium. Again, though, I'm not absolutely sure because the leaves aren't distinct enough for me. smiley - blush
