Rhododendron 'Naomi Early Dawn'

"Naomi' is one of the most famous and classic of all the old Rothschild hybrid grexes ('Aurora' x fortunei) and was his personal favorite. The various named clones feature masses of large flowers in late April to early May and the flowers themselves have an "opaline quality in their tinctures". This named selection features flowers of pale pink. These selections are now quite difficult to find in the trade. (-10\R1\4)
