To Rhododendron 'Faggetter's Favourite' as a flowering shrub (votes unanimous), from Mr W.C. Slocock, Woking. A hybrid derived from R. Fortunei the other parent unknown, with large and broadly expanded flowers, pink flushed at the margins and carried in large trusses about 7 inches across.
This rhododendron was grown at Knaphill Nursery, Surrey. On a beam in one of the buildings at the nursery are the words "James died July 1878 A 74" which correspond to James Faggetter (1803-1878). The "Faggetter's Favourite" is named after Edwin Faggetter (1834-1856) his son the Chief propagator in the nursery.
It shows resistance to feeding by adult root weevils and is widely admired (for example in Canada) and widely available (for example in Surrey and USA) .
The nursery is still trading all these years later and still supplies the Faggetter Favourite Rhododendron

A Rhododendron named "Faggetters Folly" is rumoured to exist, I would love to know more!
I understand that Faggetters in North America descend from either John or George Faggetter who left England at the end of the 19C. See my researches on North American Faggetters.
My Grandmothers cousin Ted went to Australia and his family is still there.
In 1849 at the age of 15 Charles Fellows Faggotter went to South Australia as crew and deserted his ship on arrival. Once there he was determined not to be found . . .see the Faggotter page.
