Description
Rhododendron arboreum ssp. cinnamomeum var. roseum Large rounded to upright evergreen shrubs or trees with stiff lanceolate foliage. Differs from ssp. cinnamomeum var. cinnamomeum in its paler, more compacted unistrate indumentum on the undersides of the leaves. The flowers (mid- to late spring) are white, pink, carmine or red. Found at higher elevations than ssp. arboreum and thus generally hardier. An impressive plant in both foliage and flower. Grown from hand-pollinated seed produced in the RSBG. (0\R1\6) RSBG
