Glendoik does mail order!? It woud be them. Garden centres here all carry the same mass produced rubbish
Just about EVERY Rhododendron does well in a pot provided you give it the right compost and never let it dry out. In a pot, the mature plant looks best if it's just a bit bigger than the pot itself, a little wider, a littler higher, seems to be a nice proportion.
Sorry, I meant the maddenia hybrids (within the lepidote species section). Lady Alice Fitzwilliam is superb and really quite hardy, has survived outside here for over 10 years and a superb scent.

'Polar Bear', 10ft tall, in a tub about 30 inches wide by about 24 inches deep. Flowers okay though. I have little choice, my soil being limey.
I guess you've got it fixed very well to keep the wind from blowing it over all the time Martin
