Calling Rhododendron experts.... But not the normal question?

Soil is slightly acid Rhoddos and Azaleas are thriving all over the garden, What i want to know is......Iv got room for 3 or 4 more big Rhoddos, height and spread dont matter.

I want a Purple one Red one and Pink one, Anyone got any reccomendations for those colours?

Been to the garden centre today and was spoilt for choice.

If you look at the Glendoick website you will see images of all the rhodos. When do you want them to flower for a start off?
