Azalea Rosalie

Common Name:
Azalea ‘Rosalie’

Description:
Azalea ‘Rosalie’ is a graceful evergreen azalea admired for its soft blush-pink blooms highlighted by prominent deep rose-red speckling through the throat. Flowering abundantly from late winter through to spring, the elegant open flowers create a delicate yet eye-catching display against the dense, glossy dark green foliage. The soft pastel colouring combined with bold central markings gives this variety a refined and distinctive appearance. Compact and neatly rounded in habit, ‘Rosalie’ is ideal for decorative pots, borders, low hedging, and woodland-style gardens where subtle seasonal colour is desired. Well-suited to Melbourne’s temperate climate, it thrives in part shade but can also tolerate more sun in cooler conditions with adequate moisture. It performs best in moist, well-drained, acidic soil enriched with organic matter. This variety is highly valued for its elegant floral display, evergreen structure, and reliable flowering performance during the cooler months.
