Hi henrik,
YES, there are evergreen azaleas, they are hybrids and there is a lot of different varietys. I have one trained as a bonsai and it is just starting to flower the colour of the flowers is white on this particular one.
Yes they are from the rhodo family.

Hi Henrik,
As George already told,there are evergreen azaleas. They native primarily to Japan. There are many hybrids in garden centers under the name Azalea japonica. The most of them are small-leaved species. on the end is a link for a photo of evergreen azalea in full bloom in my garden. It is hybrid "Canzonetta". I hope it's working.
