more photos; this photo of Purple Gem rhody. Leaves look like damaged by lace bug and maybe black vine weevil but I am not sure

That isn't lace bug damage and it's not weevil either. I suspect mechanical damage that occurred either in the garden center or transportation to and from there and not an insect at all.

As for the round pellets you found in another pot at your supplier, some kind of fertilizer product is still a likely guess.

Well, there was NO mechanical damage, and we do NOT leave in urban area. I am picky when I buy my plants. I watch my plants. I quarantined 2 rhodies, and I used insecticide. it helped a little bit. However, new deformed leaves appear from time to time. I know that Asiatic garden beetle may cause damage which is similar to damage on a leaf (see second picture).

Here is photo of "eggs/balls".

more photos. I wish, manufacture produce fertilizer in any color for the except earthy tones, black, and white. Sometimes, fertilizer looks very similar to eggs of insect.

Morz8 is correct in that this looks nothing like either weevil or lacebug damage. Mechanical damage during transportaton to the garden center or an unknown sap sucking insect are realistic possibilities. The original damage would have been very hard to detect but was sufficient to cause the leaf distortion and the death of some leaf tissue. The latter is what led to the brown discoloration now very visible. What percentage of the leaves show damage? If it's relatively minor, it may be that this particular variety produces a percentage of deformed leaves and no pest or damage is involved.

The "eggs" are almost certainly controlled release fertilzer prills.

It is relatively minor. However, new damage appears because I watch my plants. The plants were small when I bought them from retail store. I bought them in 1/4 container. There were NO mechanical damage during transportation. I did research, and I know that leaves can be deformed if roots were eaten by larvae or grubs. Brown discoloration is caused by sap sucking insect because I used insecticide on leaves and it helped a little bit (less damaged leaves on two shrubs). Probably, "eggs" is slow release fertilizer because these eggs are scattered around the pot and in a bag of Miracle Grow Garden soil. Anyway, I will solve problem by contacting entomologist or plant pathologist.

The minor damage to your leaves may be caused by thrips. They feed on the newly opening leaves when they are very tender, resulting on the damage you see after they have opened. Thrips feed on blossoms also.
Those 'eggs' you see are no doubt Osmocote prills, a fertilizer used throughout the nursery industry.
