We had an unusually cold day or two this winter (zone 8, bordering on
9) when it went down to -9 C.(it usually hovers around freezing or
maybe 2 or 3 degrees below).

I lost a large Rosemary bush, and I guess I had forgotten that it was
a bit tender (others in less exposed locations came through without
blinking).

Do people in less clement areas normally keep Roesmary as a pot plant?

I'm in zone 7a and have 3 big rosemary's that winter over just fine each
year. One is up against the house and is protected. The others are used
in various landscaping on the outer edges of the yard. They all come
through just fine each winter. Worse case senario is one or two limbs
have to be cut back due to damage.
