(H5)  A wonderful bicoloured double flower, which is red in tight bud, opening through deep pink to deep golden yellow, turning to soft pink and apricot as they mature. May.  Deep green foliage turns fiery red in autumn before falling. Height 125-150cm in 10 years with an upright habit.  

This combination makes for a kaleidoscope of colour through the spring. Altogether a great shrub for punctuating the different seasons of the year.  Best in dappled shade or a fairly sunny position.

Raised by Denis Hughes, a noted rhododendron breeder from Blue Mountain Nurseries, in the South of New Zealand, who named this plant in honour of Nicholas de Rothschild (Exbury Gardens) when he visited New Zealand. We are delighted to be offering a few of Dennis's recent introductions which are notably different from existing varieties.
