“杜鹃花手册1998版：栽培杜鹃品种”出版于1997年。这是始于1952年的独立系列中的最后一本。出版源自于1980年代初对杜鹃花的主要分类学修订和对早期版本中未包括的杜鹃花种类日益增长的兴趣。它是由英国皇家园艺学会和爱丁堡皇家植物园合作编撰，提供杜鹃栽培品种的描述，因此对杜鹃种植者和爱好者来说比包罗万象的修订本来说更有用途。
The Rhododendron Handbook 1998: Rhododendron Species in Cultivation
The Rhododendron Handbook 1998 was published in 1997. It is the last in an occasional standalone series started in 1952 and has not been revised or reprinted. Publication was prompted by the major taxonomic revision of Rhododendron in the early 1980s and the growing interest in Vireya species which had not been covered in earlier editions. It was a joint venture between the Royal Horticultural Society and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and designed to provide descriptions for species generally regarded to be in cultivation and therefore of more general use to growers and enthusiasts than the all-encompassing Revision itself.
