Notes
'English Roseum' rhododendron (Rhododendron 'English Roseum') is an evergreen shrub for borders, hedges, privacy screens, and woodland gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Light rose flowers open in early to late spring, and they draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Give it acid soil so it stays healthy. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Cinnamon fern, Sum and Substance hosta, and Green Spice coral bells.
