all the red rhodos in gardens everywhere with their bright blooms. They

in my resources were rated zone 6 and above. >>
The Jung catalog has a series of Finnish rhododendrons rated to zone 4 and
colder. There are four versions from a university program in Finland. A
friend ordered the lot and a large healthy plants were sent.
If you do not have the Jung catalog I will look up the address later. It is
a northern mail order nursery.
