Jacqueline du Pré & the Un-Rhododendron



Rosa 'Jacqueline du Pré' May 7 2018

Today, May 7 2018 I looked out of my living room window and saw the first rose to open in our garden. The rose that has first opened in our garden has never been the same one. Rosa ‘Jacqueline du Pré’ in spite of being in shade most of the day has officially opened the rose season in the garden.

I moved a few weeks ago a very strange looking rhododendron. It is Rhododendron macrosepalum ‘Linearifolium’. It has very tiny lanceolate leaves and even smaller flowers. It has to be protected. We purchased it many years in Seattle. I believe that I have finally found a perfect spot for this un-rhododendron.
