Hi Kath, Cunningham white has mauve buds, which open to white flowers, with yellow to green/brown markings inside, Derek.

Thankyou Derek

And it looks as if the vine weevil enjoy it also!

Oh no as I have a lot growing beside this.

Is there anything I can do ?

I believe that you go out at night, with a torch, and pick them off! Neither MG or I have never bothered to do this.

I will take my chances then Bulba.

Manŷ thanks

If it is a good sturdy rhodo. it will survive a little munching from the vine weevils Scotkat - just looks unsightly.

MG it's very healthy apart from this and I have many rhodies in garden and none are like this 1.

Then I wouldn't worry too much… as Bulba says we don't :)
