Quite a lot, but it may die anyway. Rosemaries do drop dead in many
locations after a few years. I recommend layering it, which will
give you new plants after a year. You can then remove the old bush
entirely.

Or just put a cutting in a pot - it can be more convenient than layering.

My 'original' rosemary was a cutting from a friend's bush some thirty years
ago and I've supplied 'children' with them too.
