Hi we have quite a few rosemary shrubs and the wife tried to move one
recently and it just died.

So I tried to move another to fill the gap and it too looks to be dying
, even though I enriched the earth with a bit of multipurpose compost
and also watered it well.

Do the just not like being moved or is this just the wrong time of year
to be doing it ?

Most things are best moved when they're dormant and Rosemary is not just
now! The other thing is that they, like many other herbs, don't like
over-rich soil or a lot of water. I'm afraid it looks as if they were
battling with conditions that were just too stressful for them.

chalk another one off to experience

It'll give me something else to grow for next year

Is now a good time to be taking cuttings from my other Rosemaries and
if so what's the best method to do this ?
