Rhododendron × loderi is a rhododendron hybrid engineered at Leonardslee, where they grow. It is named after Edmund Giles Loder, a British botanist, who developed a cross between R. fortunei and R. griffithianum.
It is an evergreen shrub that typically reaches heights of 1.8–4 metres (5.9–13.1 ft). The plant features leathery leaves that are oblong to oblong-elliptic. Rhododendron × loderi blooms from April to May, producing trusses trumpet-shaped flowers that emerge from bright pink buds. Flowers open a shade of pink, blush, or cream, and fade to pure white within a few days.
