The remarkable diversity of colour, size and shape of these stunning stars of spring were on display last weekend at the RHS Garden Rosemoor National Rhododendron Show.

Exhibitors came from all over the south and west, including the Royal Parks Department, several National Trust properties in the southwest as well as Caerhays Castle Gardens, Cornwall, famous for its stunning magnolias.

We are delighted to report that Exbury Gardens won the Crosswater Challenge Cup for the best 3 Hybrids raised at the garden of the Exhibition.
