Azalea Berry Rose A Knap Hill azalea, Rhododendron Berryrose is a vigorous, medium-sized deciduous shrub, with an upright habit, lovely for a woodland planting in acid soil. The oblong leaves emerge bronze, later turning mid-green, and often colouring well before leaf-fall. In late spring, beautiful, fragrant, funnel-shaped flowers appear, deep salmon-pink with a red tube and a splash of yellow in the throat. Pinch out flowers that have gone over to encourage more flowers and a fine display the following year. Mulch well in spring to conserve moisture round the rather shallow roots. Azalea Berryrose holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
