Rhododendron English Roseum is a vigorous Waterer hybrid that develops into a dense, broadly rounded evergreen shrub for large shaded gardens.
Late-spring branch tips carry dome-shaped trusses of eight to ten widely funnel-shaped lilac-rose flowers, each marked with a soft orange blotch.
Glossy elliptic to oblong dark-green leaves provide substantial year-round structure for hedges, foundations, woodland margins, and shaded borders.
Grow shallowly in humus-rich acidic soil with steady moisture, excellent drainage, dappled shade, annual leaf-mould mulch, and shelter from drying winds.
