Rhododendrons

Rhododendron 'The Master'
China x Letty Edwards?
(so fortunei ssp. fortunei, campylocarpum ssp.
campylocarpum and 'Wightii')?
If the parentage is correct, which is in doubt, the
'Wightii' used will have been the original
introduction which is probably a hybrid of wightii
and falconeri.
