mountain rolled-leaf rhododendron

R. roxieanum var. oreonastes is a slow-growing, evergreen shrub with very narrow dark green leaves felted with fawn or rust-coloured indumentum on the undersides. It can be shy to bloom initially, but the bell-shaped flowers are creamy-white, with small, dark pink spots inside and often a pink flush. They are produced in compact trusses of 10 to 15 in mid to late spring
