DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron ‘Mrs. Betty Robertson’ is a broadleaf evergreen shrub with a rounded habit and medium-sized, leathery dark green leaves. In mid- to late spring it bears trusses of funnel-shaped flowers, pale yellow with a soft pink flush and a rosy-red blotch on the upper lobe. As they age the blooms often turn creamy yellow, so the shrub can show pale yellow, cream, and faintly blushed flowers together.

This campylocarpum hybrid was introduced by M. Koster & Sons of Boskoop, Netherlands, around 1920. Rounded trusses, warm pastel tones, and dependable evergreen foliage suit woodland borders, mixed rhododendron plantings, and smaller garden spaces where spring color and year-round structure are welcome.
