Can anyone tell me if they think my plant might have caught some disease?

    I'm no disease expert but my guess would be environmental conditions may have stressed the plant.
    If it's been very dry, first plenty of water then I'd try either sequestered iron or a good drench with seaweed extract

    Shade and water from the bottom. Stand in a shallow dish and keep the saucer topped up until the plant has stopped taking it up. This could take 3-4 days. Rhodedendrons like moist growing conditions in shade or semi shade so the heat wave has probably caused the discolouration. It may take a few weeks to recover.
