The two R's of Armenian

What exactly is the difference in pronunciation between the two rhotics:

Ռռ Րր

I'm reading here the first one is palatized and the other is just a plain trill. I read somewhere else that the first is a retroflex semivowel or something (maybe like English). Probably varies according to dialect.
