Josh Joslin on Jul 04, 2015Dead heading a rhody is cosmetic. The rhody will be the same for blooms with or without dead heading.Helpful Reply

Suzette Trimmer on Jul 04, 2015Surprised to hear this question, because it never occurred to me to deadhead my Rhodordenrum. I have many on the grounds at the stable and they all thrive well without my ever touching them. However; I think I shall try this process on one of them in hopes that it may do something to increase what is already great blooming shrubs. Interested in hearing what others say now.Helpful Reply

Judi Duchene Mecham on Jul 04, 2015Be careful when snapping (don't cut) old blossoms. If you look carefully, you can see the new flower buds coming out for the next year. If you cut or snap theses off, no flowers for next year.Helpful Reply
