I have grown Rosemary in a large pot for many years during the summer
months, and have always thrown it away late Autumn, then bought a new
plant next spring.

I've just bought a new plant ( 'upright Rosemary' ) and I read on its
label that it can be grown into a bush up to 2 metres high !!

Has anyone grown a Rosemary bush before?, does it survive the winter?,
does it smell & taste as good as a new plant does ?

Of course it does. I've had a rosemary bush in my garden for over twenty
years. The weight of the snow back in January caused it to bend over but
it recovered, is still going strong and is flowering at the moment. Cut
a couple of sprigs yesterday to cook with some lamb shanks.
