Rhododendron

I planted 6 rhododendron bushes several years ago. Last summer I noticed that I was having branches die off. I was told that I had either borers or beetles. I lost 3 bushes but managed to save the others by applying Orthene every two weeks to them all. Have neighbors with rhododendrons, no problems with them. I thought that these bushes have little or no serious problems as I experienced. Maybe you can shed some light on this subject with your expertise.

Thank you your attention in this matter, I appreciate your input.
