Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Buds are a dark rose red opening to rose and then going through several shades of pink to a light pastel pink. Strong "boned" plant. This 'Walloper' is the Mossman form.

By: Bloom River Gardens

This is the Mossman form. An article in the Winter 1977 bulletin of the American Rhododendron Society questions its parentage, but I see no reason to doubt the above. It might be the reverse cross, but both 'Anna' and 'Marinus Koster' are clearly visible in the plant. In bud, it shows a deep rose red, which opens rose gradually lightening through many delightful shades of pink to a beautiful pastel pink. Good looking foliage. Will grow to be a strong plant of large stature. ('Anna' x 'Marinus Koster')
