Hello,

in the high winds today an old rosemary bush we have, about 3 feet
high, has snapped across the trunk. Other than cry, is there anything
I can do that might help it root again?

I would saw across the break to make a clean cut and hope it shoots,
then take a lot of cuttings.

I did successfully splint a mulberry once, which had fallen right over
but not broken completely through the trunk, but rosemary is a lot more
brittle and I doubt you'd be successful.

A cutting shouldn't take *too* long to get to 3ft again.
