Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Dense trusses made up of cup-shaped flowers form a rare combination of rose with creamy pink in the throat. Woolly indumentum underneath large, elliptic leaves. A rhododendron in a class of its own.

By: Bloom River Gardens

Flowers are a luscious rose with white shading in the throat and citron-green spots. It flowers very heavily on a rounded, vigorous growing plant. Woolly indumentum beneath long, elliptic leaves.

By: Greer Gardens Inc.

An impressive combination of color, form, and hardiness. Some feel this is the best of Mr. Hachmann's hybrids. The wavy-edged midseason flowers are a shiny light red at the edges, creamy pink in the center. Dense, compact habit. AGM winner. Briggs Nursery's 2002 Plant of the Year.
