Summaryedit

Description
English: Double Red Azalea India (Rhododendron hort. cv. double red) illustration by Sarah Ann Drake. Plate 56.

Editor John Lindley wrote of Double Red Azalea India in 1842: "The beauties of Azaleas, which although Chinese, are called Indian, is too well known to the Garden-lovers of England to require explanation. Their endless variety, their brilliant colours, delicate texture, and profuse blooming, place them at the head of the races of cultivated plants. Most of them are however single, and in our opinion that is no small merit; for a double flower is rarely handsome unless when the additional parts are arranged with the most perfect symmetry.

"Such is not the case with this double red, the flowers which are large and splendidly coloured, but very deficient in beauty of form. It is however rare, and quite distinct kind; two circumstances that give it value in the eye of a collector."
