Maggi Young:
Hi, Rob. This looks like a good specimen of Rhododendron pachysanthum, one of my favourites for its great new shoots and leaves. The flowers are white with good spots and blots of raspberry , opening mid-march. It is very hardy, has been down to -19 for a couple of weeks or more here a few years ago.
It is from Taiwan and, with R. bureavii, has some of the finest foliage you'll see !!

ian mcenery:
Rob I would agree with Maggi, I have it and it is tough as old boots. It is a bit diffucult to get hold of good forms though but well worth the effort just for the foliage alone. This is an unbelievable colour with indumentum top and botton with the wonderful colours persisting for a large part of the summer

Susan:
Our R pachysanthum is looking wonderful this year.  Against all advice I moved it into full sun and it seems to be thriving, but our winter temperature only went down to a mere -6deg C

Another with lovely foliage is Rhododendron roxieanum.

Earlier we had the brilliant spring foliage of Rhododendron williamsianum, and the flower and a little foliage of Rhododendron yakushimanum.

Susan.

Paul T:
Wow!!  Some lovely new foliage there.  I love R. 'Kallista' for it's massive flowers (white, bell shaped rather than trumpet shaped) and pink furry new shoots.  Mine hasn't flowered for me as yet, but I am hopeful for next year if it survives this summer and the watering restrictions!! :-\

Autumn foliage of Rh. ledebourii.
