Camellia Bush producing rotting blooms

[Caribeing]

I have a camellia bush in the garden it has
green healthy leaves but it has just started to bloom, unfortunately the white flowers are
rotting as soon as they appear. I have the bush
for quite a number of years and this is the first time it has bloomed, what do I do?

i have a red one that is doing exactly the same. i wondered if it's the weather conditions this spring - too cold and wet.

Camelias should be positioned so that they do not catch the early morning sun, which can have this effect following a frosty night.

Yep...as per Landscaper's answer. The flowers get frost or dew on them and then the sun just turns them to mush.
