ROSEMOOR Garden is again the host for the Royal Horticultural Society National Rhododendron Show and competition, taking place on Saturday April 24 and Sunday April 25 — an event which promises to be bigger and better than ever before.

Rhododendron comes from the Greek rodo, meaning 'rose', and dendro, meaning 'tree', and after the long harsh winter, a magnificent display is anticipated, with 60 different classes covering all types — including ground-hugging alpines and forest tree species, exotic and tender vireyas or the most cold-resilient hardy hybrids.

There will also be a magnolia and camellia show.

Rosemoor's own 'Woodland and Ornamental' team will be creating another superb woodland garden in the marquee, which will form the centrepiece of the packed show tent.  

Entry to the Rhododendron Show is free with normal garden entry to Rosemoor.
