Question
I live in Ontario, Canada.  Last year I was given a Rhododendron  plant as a gift. It was in bloom beautifully. In August I moved, so it never got planted in the ground. I took my plant with me, & it stayed outside all winter.  Now it looks dead.  Should I prune it back (if so by how much)& plant it?  Any advice you can give me about Rhodos would be greatly appreciated as this is my first time with this type of plant.

Answer
Lisa,
  Here is a website I use for care of rhododendrens

I don't know if you can grow them in your area-they are hardy in zones 5-8.  I like in Nebraska and we are zone 5 and we don't have a lot of luck with them.
