rhododendrum bush

Question

My daughter gave me a beautiful rhododendron bush in a pot. I am not a gardener by nature and we will probably be moving to a new home in between now and next year. I do not want to leave the bush here but don’t know what to do with it until we move. Should I plant it now? Can I just put it outside on our patio and bring it in when winter comes? Any helpful information will be valued. Thank you.

You can successfully grow a Rhododendron in a container.
This will allow you to enjoy now and take with you to your new home.
