会刊《Lapprosen》与种子交换
协会的会刊名为《Lapprosen》 (杜鹃花在挪威的俗称)，每年出版三期，自 1998 年起每年都能在网站下载过往刊号，最早期号为 2001 年第 1 期。会刊内容包含杜鹃花栽培经验、园访纪行、杂交实记等。DnR 另设有 Frøforvalter (种子管理员) 一职，由 Svein Erik Tønnesen (Hobdalsvegen 6, 4370 Egersund) 担任，每年由他整理会员种子交换清单，下一年的新名单通常在 1 月 1 日发布，本年度的种子交换已在年内截止。
杜鹃花栽培与木兰、山茶协作
协会把木兰属 (Magnolia) 与山茶属 (Camellia) 同样纳入活动范围，两者都属酸性土植物，可在挪威冷凉气候下与杜鹃花混栽。DnR 于近年正式将这两属写入章程，并在 2025 年成立 Camelliagruppa 山茶兴趣小组，目标为整理适应挪威各气候带的栽培种清单与栽培手册。DnR 也与英国、美国、新西兰、德国等地的杜鹃花协会有交流，会刊常报道相关国际大会与种质交换动态。

Bulletin Lapprosen and Seed Exchange
The member bulletin is Lapprosen (the Norwegian common name for rhododendron). Three issues are published each year; digital back copies from issue 1-2001 are available on the website. Content covers rhododendron cultivation, garden visits and open-pollinated seedling notes. A separate seed-list role (Frøforvalter) is held by Svein Erik Tønnesen (Hobdalsvegen 6, 4370 Egersund); the seed-list for the current cycle has closed, with the next list scheduled to appear on 1 January 2027.
Rhododendron Cultivation and Magnolia Camellia Collaboration
DnR has formally extended its scope to the genera Magnolia and Camellia, both ericaceous/acid-soil plants that can be grown alongside rhododendrons in Norway. Camelliagruppa, a Camellia interest group, was set up in 2025 to compile cultivar lists hardy in the various Norwegian climate zones and to produce cultivation notes. DnR also maintains informal contact with rhododendron societies in the United Kingdom, the United States, New Zealand and Germany, and the bulletin regularly reports on international meetings and seed exchanges.
