Twenty-four rhododendrons selected for their adaptability in seven regions of the United States have been awarded Rhododendron of the Year (ROY) honors for 2006. The purpose of the awards is to educate the public about the wide range of rhododendrons that can be grown successfully in people's gardens. To be selected for a ROY award a plant must have excellent foliage and flowers, have an attractive growth habit, prove itself hardy for the specific region and be pest and disease resistant.
