Rhododendron In Full Bloom

Carole that is stunning , gorgeous :o)

Wow what a display its gorgeous beautiful colour.

WOW!!

Gorgeous!

That's beautful, PP. I had a white one that flowered very early and now it has died! I dug it up today and it was completely lifeless. I wonder why?

Thanks Ladies, it is a beauty, really pleased with the display;0)
Sorry to hear about yours Gee, how strange! they are normally such robust plants!

I checked over it for 'nasties' but didn't find anything. The little one in the back garden seems to be OK :)

Well thats good news, I wonder if they are easy to take cuttings of?

Very nice.

They are such a pretty Shrub Pp...But, can be quite
messy when flowers haved finished..
Do you pinch them out each year? It can take quite a bit of time especially when flowering as much as yours
Pp...lol
Is this in your front garden Pp? Such a lovely sight for
passers-by...

Thanks Freesia it is in my front garden and its an old established shrub, I dont pinch it out just let it get on with it lol

ok..i think i know now what to put in my front yard. these do well here, but i've never owned one. how quick do they grow and how long do they bloom?
i like this one.

This one is around three years old and they put on a great show but its not that long lived about 3 weeks Id say, but nice glossy leaves when not in flower;0)

taking note....
