Rodgers and Hammerstein were, indeed approached to provide a single song, but not, specifically "Edelweiss". They didn't believe that the show could work without an original score, and convinced Lindsay and Crouse, and whoever else they needed to convince, to let them take on the whole score. "Edelweiss", which I believe was written out of town, was Hammerstein's last song.
