I posted again on the subject because I had found the photograph I linked to
here. I am as sure as I can be that I didn't post it before


Yes you did. Here is what you had posted along with saying Olivier had
seen it but couldn't recognise it and thought perhaps it was a
Barcelona.

we went over to Salcombe today to the house he was
thinking of and took a photo of the rosemary there. Olivier Filippi says he
seriously doubts it's R. Barcelona because that one gets damaged by frost
even in his trial garden and he says it's not worth photographing.
However, I've sent him a photograph of the Salcombe one and promised him
some cuttings if it isn't one he has.

O. Filippi thinks it is close to R. Barcelona now he's seen the photos -
hard to tell from photos. He's asked for some cuttings to trial it at his
place, so I'm posting some to him tomorrow. Cottage Nursery in Lincolnshire
are no longer listing R. Jackman's Prostrate on their web site.


Here's a photo of this mysterious rosemary. Quite apart from what
its
proper name is, it's a remarkable plant! My son's put it up for me on
our
web site - ignore the bit about the car, he has a strange sense of
humour at
times!
