    This book is difficult and impractical.
  

*by C***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 1, 2022*

I would not recommend this book for several reasons. The author tries to cover too many groups of Rhododendrons from Tsutsusi to Elepidotes, etc. This approach alone makes the book impractical.  The book would be much better suited if it were divided into separate volumes. For example book one might cover Elepidotes, book two could cover Lepidotes and book three Tsutsusi etc. In other words, the genus Rhododendron is much too vast to be covered by this superficial guide.The other big problem is that less than 1/2 of the described varieties are accompanied by photos. Many of these photos are not of optimum quality and lack the necessary detail for identification of an unknown cultivar. Many cultivated Rhododendron varieties are very similar in appearance. It is paramount to see the markings in the upper lobe of the corolla or limb (individual flower). These markings (maculation) are spots or sometimes bands of different colors. This feature alone will often separate similar cultivars from one another.There are about 28,000 cultivated Rhododendrons and about 1,200 known species. This makes a single book on this subject rather impracticable. This is especially the case for the more serious enthusiastSo unless you just like pretty photos, this book will not aid your detailed study of Rhododendrons. By the way, all Azaleas are Rhododendrons but not all Rhododendrons are Azaleas.

    Beautiful
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 15, 2014*

Beautiful color and many varieties illustrated individually with photos. Obviously British from the garden photographs and some spellings. First section of the book on rhododendron types, culture, and diseases (with photos) is excellent.  Not highly technical and obviously could not cover the thousands of varieties available. However, our garden club purchased this book to donate to the local library in memory of a recently deceased member. It certainly is a suitable memorial.
