gday all,
i have some azalea and smallish rhododendrons(approx 1m in hight) that i
hoped might survive the summer to be relocated to a shadier, more
sheltered spot in the winter. however they are already showing bad signs
of sun burn and dry stress. my question to any gurus of these plants,
will they stand a better chance of surviving the summer if i pot them
now and keep them watered in the shade, or will a mid-summer and under
stress move just finish them off? any help, thoughts or advice great
fully accepted.

Build a temporary shade house over them and move them in winter.
