Smashing results Robert. Do you have any guesses at the possible other parent with edgeworthii? Did you use the dark pink Glendoick form of edgeworthii? I would never have guessed such a stunning flower could come from racemosum! Keep them coming.Here's one that surprised me to death. Despite the complex parentage it looks quite like edgeworthii itself. The sibling is similar. Edgeworthii itself is attached for comparison.johnw
Hi DavidI posted a picture of my R. praecox in the 'March 2014 in the Northern hemisphere' thread on 3rd March. It is thirty years old and just over 4 feet tall. So as Maggi said it doesn't grow at any speed. My mistake was that other shrubs grew and competed with it over the years. It does not get early sunshine and the flowers have survived a couple of mild frosts this year with no problems. It was hit by a late hard frost a couple of years ago, but so were my other rhododenrons that had just come into flower.It is my favourite shrub. You won a very nice prize.Bob
