Not sure about Oleander, it appears to be a Rhododendron of some kind. I don't know which one but I'm sure someone can give you more details before long.

I don't think it is an Oleander.I'm just not sure what it is can you take a photo so we can see how it grows.

I agree with Toni, it's a Rhododendron.

Thank you very much Toni, Glendann, Cajunbelle and Eileen for your kindness and fast replies.
I´m glad to know it's a Rhododendron, because I´m afraid of oleanders for my pets.
Thank you very much again.

Is it a big one? The R. catawbiense are big, showy bushes that are frequently used around the world. You can get them in lots of colours, and they also take fairly well to pruning. There are hundreds, thousands of different crosses and types too. I like Rhododendrons.

That is definitely not an Oleander. I agree with others, it is a Rhododendron. I can't help on the exact variety, though.
