    Rescued Rhododendron

    I would definitely take off anything thats dead as this may cause the plant to rot, I would also give it a feed with some ericaceous plant feed, but that may cost more than the plant itself.

    Ideally, this would have been done some time ago, so best to just stick them in the ground now.

    Waterlogged Garden

    I agree with Spruce, there is nothing you can do unless you dig it up. Drainage channels are a good idea and digging sand or gravel into the soil will help with drainage too.
