I'm looking for the hardiest possible weeping rosemary cultivar. To

I grow Rosmarinus 'Severn Sea', which Jekka McVicar's site call "frost
hardy". However, it has survived in my garden for 4-5 years, despite
the heavy snowfall and frosts of the last two winters. It is on heavy
clay, but at the front of a retaining wall, perhaps similar to your
intended site. The wind often whips it and tosses it back on itself, so
it is fairly exposed. There was a tiny bit of damage last year, but the
plant is doing well. It has the most beautiful blue flowers
