I have two rhododendrons in my garden,  both beautiful, both unidentified. Does anyone know the full names for these? The pink one was slightly fading when I took the photo.

    Welcome to the forums.
    There are 1000's of Rhododendron/Azalea...species, hybrids and cultivars.
    Even experts in Rhododendrons often struggle to agree what the accurate name is.

    i would suggest you enjoy them and not worry what the actual name is.

    I Would say "the red one" and "the Pink one" :)  
    Joking apart I dont know the names but I have two the same as yours and I got them from Tesco 3 years ago.This year again they have produced beutiful blooms
    As Silver surfer says Enjoy them

    Happy Gardening

    Do you know how big they will get? Or are they dwarfs varieties?

    Without knowing a name it is impossible to tell.

    If you are desperate to get accurate names,  time of flowering, ultimate size height in 10 years you need to buy from a specialist grower of Rhodo's.
