A little while ago someone posted here about this and it seems only to be
available in USA. ............... this is what I was told:


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.


Odd, but the Americans can be somewhat blase about some things and
rather obsessive about others.

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


Ah well, now someone or several ones need to explore the potential of
this cultivar from the UK point of view. I bet it does well on top of
old walls 'stuck' together with lime mortar. ;-)



First I have to get my hands on whatever-it-is! In retaliation, I have sent
him a pic of the 'Salcombe Rosemary'. ;-))
