What do brown spots on rhododendrons mean?

I live in Juneau, Alaska. We had over 200" of snow last winter.

What do brown spots on rhododendrons mean?
Considering where you live, I am thinking winter burn. Rhododendrons do not like direct sun and will burn easily. Since they are an evergreen it can happen year around.





I am having the same problem with one of two I have in MN. The one exposed to the greatest amount of sun is doing some browning too. It can't hurt to offer yours a little acid fertilizer.
