Default Rosemary 'Irene'

A little while ago someone posted here about this and it seems only to be
available in USA. I made enquiries about it from San Marcos Growers and
they put me in touch with its developer. I'll see what else I can discover
from Geoff Needham. In the meantime, this is what I was told:

"Dear Sacha,

Sorry to reply so late. Your message was put*inadvertently*in my junk mail.

I do not know whether Rosemary officinalis Irene (cv: 'Renzels') USPP 9124
is available in any UK outlet. It does not have Plant Breeder's rights on
it. I have heard that it is around, and i did send cuttings once to Geoff
Needham at Far Plants (?), but they did not pursue it.

You are welcome to grow it. I would hope you would get the true form of it.
Let me know how you progress.

Phil Johnson"
