Growing a Rosemary bush
Hello
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 ?
Thanks

It may be Miss Jessop's Upright and some people use it as an informal
hedge. I think 2 metres is pushing it a bit, though. Where do you live?!
We have rosemarys that survive all winters, including this one and it's
usually regarded as pretty hardy. It's a shrub so take cuttings and
propagate new ones but there's no reason at all to throw it away each
year.

My Rosemary is 10 years old and does not care what the weather does, I keep
it at about 1mtr. tall by light pruning and just take out any branches that
get in the way. It is just coming into flower now
