  Originally found high up in the Himalayas, Burma and China, rhododendrons flourish in temperate climates where there are cool, wet summers - thus they are a plant ideally suited to the British Isles, especially in areas with suitably rich soil. In a year of little frost, many gardens can have rhododendrons in flower every month of the year, and this book explains how to get the best results by careful selection, planting and care. Propagation, pest and disease control are covered in detail and a descriptive selection of the best species and hybrids completes the book.
