Rhododendron "Percy Wiseman" medium size(yakushimanum hybrid)

What colour for a small bush

Thank you Linda .I think it was a good choice. Time will tell.

P. Wiseman is one of my best and favourite Rhodo's; I have had mine for about 20 years, it keeps its round compact form and is now full of buds which will open in about three weeks time. I also have the Yak. species
K. Wada which was used as seed parent by Mr Wiseman
to make his many lovely hybrids. I used K. Wada Yak. to produce my own "Suffolk Pink". Several years ago, I wrote a Magazine article about Yakushimanum; it is an interesting story of how Yak. was found in the mountains of Yakushima, and sent to England in 1939.

When my Rhodo's bloom, I shall post a blog, about this.

The small picture at the top of this comment, is Percy Wiseman!

Hi David. Thank you for your interesting info . I will be looking for your picture (blog) of your "Suffolk Pink".
I am heading to rhododendron festival today but I doubt that I would find 'Koichiro Wada' there. Hopefully there will be something interesting.

I have not realized that your avatar was Percy Wisemen.
