Flowers look like miniature roses, low-spreading habit; definitely blue-ribbon material!

This little species is a rhododendron in the group we commonly call azaleas. It has the most beautiful double, salmon orange flowers that look like little roses. This densely foliaged plant creeps upon the ground and would be excellent as a ground cover or in the rock garden. The flower is unlike any other rhododendron. Very easy to grow. Terrific! (TT, tt)
