ROSEBAY RHODODENDRON— R. maximum 
This is the best known and most widely distributed of the native Rhododen¬ 
drons. The large, luxuriant, deep green leaves make it the best, by far, for 
mass effects. Large trusses of flowers, borne in late June and early July, range 
in color from a creamy-white to an apple-blossom pink. It should be planted 
in partial shade and prefers a location not exposed to strong winter winds.
