Roseum Pink Rhododendron (Rhododendron x 'Roseum Pink')

Roseum Pink Rhododendron (Rhododendron x 'Roseum Pink') is a broadleaf evergreen shrub valued for its soft rose-pink blooms and reliable performance in shaded gardens. Closely related to 'Roseum Elegans,' this cultivar offers a slightly lighter flower color while maintaining the same vigorous habit and cold-hardiness.

Distinctive Features
