Setting the garden ablaze, multiple award-winning Rhododendron 'Gibraltar' is a medium-sized deciduous azalea that produces incredibly eye-catching ball-shaped trusses of 10 to 12 flowers. Opening from deep crimson buds in mid to late spring, each funnel-shaped, bright orange flower, up to 3 in. wide (7 cm), is elegantly frilled and flushed red-orange with a gold tinge. Slightly fragrant, they blanket this midseason Knaphill hybrid in an exceptional floral display and contrast nicely with the handsome foliage of narrow green leaves which do not develop any appreciable fall color. Raised and introduced by Edmund de Rothschild, 'Gibraltar' is an extremely hardy selection that is also extraordinarily mildew resistant.
