They are the same family Skips the Azaleas are usually smaller but not always .........

Azaleas are usually deciduous, but there are some evergreen ones as well... the difference is in the leaves really - rhododendrons have glossy, thick leaves - while azaleas have smaller, softer leaves, often bit hairy...
