Nursery contributed plant descriptions

What could have better foliage than a hybrid containing R. bureavii and R. degronianum ssp. yakushimanum? This plant is special for its foliage, covered with brown indumentum on the under side of the leaf. The flowers are rose-colored, and 'Elya' often flowers very young. It is a very fine plant!
