RHODODENDRON 'Gertrude Saxe'
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Murcott Parentage: (minus var. minus Carolinianum Group x mucronulatum 'Paul’s Pink')
Description: Big trusses of clear pink flowers that are softer and easier on the eye than those of 'Aglo' and 'Olga Mezitt'. This is a cultivar that we've had at the nursery for a number of years, but it's only recently that we've propagated enough to list it again. We keep "Gertrude" around because she's hardy, reliable, and just plain beautiful. Her habit is upright and rounded. Foliage is olive-green and a bit larger than that of other small-leaved Rhododendrons.
