I am wondering if it is Rh. 'Fastuosum Flore Pleno'. Mine is more lavender than what you have (it is hard to tell though). The leaves are so similar.

Fastuosum Flore Pleno blooms in Mid-May. It has unusual double mauve (lavender-purple) flower held in a medium-sized truss. It is drought-tolerant (once established).

This looks like one of the more common rhododendrons such as:

Catawbiense Grandiflorum
Roseum Elegans
Roseum Pink
Roseum Superbum

From the picture it is hard to see if there is a blotch and the color of the anthers and pistols.
