Just to be clear are you saying these plants have sat in pots at a nursery or elsewhere waiting for you to go and collect them? If this is the case and the rhodo has not had any attention or water then it is likely to be in poor condition. When you do collect them make sure that both of the pots gets an extremely good soaking in water. Then get them both planted into the ground as soon as. Rhodos do not go dormant, they have already created the flowering buds for next years flowers and need to be looked after through the winter in order not to lose those flower buds. Having said all this rhodos are survivors but do give as much t.l.c. as you can.
