Hi there.

I have this cutting I collected in Autumn this year.
It has just flowered in the cuttings box.
To cancel out some possibilities, its not Kirin, Hana Asobi, Christmas Cheer or a Kiusianum variety.
My closest guess is Tama no Utena. Also possibly an Amoenum hybrid

The leaves are small, glossy and oval shaped(15-20mm long with a rounded tip) with some colour in the colder months.

Happy hunting

There are so many varieties of azalea many of which are not available in this country. Your one looks to be a hose in hose type whereas those you mentioned are singles when I google them. This is the closest that i can come up with Hachmann's Rokoko at this site which is an overseas one, but a good reference point.

Hmmm Maybe not, looks a bit too double.

Thanks Hacki.
Hirsutum is a great resource.
Hana Asobi is a single, Kirin is a hose in hose as is Christmas cheer
I might settle on Tama no Utena for now as it was at some stage available in Australia whereas the variety you suggested I am not sure exists here.
The hunt goes on ........ .........
