I cannot be sure of the flower, I really don’t know a lot of Northern flowers.
Because of the double set of petals it is most likely some kind of hybrid. If the picture was taken in N.H. I don’t see how it could be a hibiscus, unless someone put one in the ground with the knowledge that the first frost will kill it. The same holds true (I think) for Azaleas, although they certainly grow at least as far north as N. Carolina...A picture with some leaves would help identify it, especially if the leaves and stamens were shot in extreme close up.

My first guess was a double-hibiscus, but I defer
all plant questions to my neighbor. (And the more complicated bird questions to a different neighbor!)
If my neighbor runs true to form,
next he'll ask you to crush a leaf, and describe the odor!
