New species is an oxymoron. Species are hundreds of years old. Hybrids can be new, but not species. Some are newly named, but not new.

Get a grip! I suspect OP was referring to "new" to that particular garden.

Yeah, jean is right: I simply meant new to Albers Vista Gardens, as stated in the phrase "we have recently added some new rhododendron species."

No worries! :-)

"New species" is not an oxymoron. In fact, 'species novum' is the correct term in botanical and other forms of classification for new discoveries.

Yes, it's a nit, but I couldn't resist picking it.
