Rosemary can be very hard to winter over. It can take a certain amount of
cold and it can take a certain amount of water, but the combo of cold and
wet is deadly. In the house it sometimes gets mites. I have always done
whatever I had to, though.
In Umbria it become alsmost a tree and the only thing that kills it are
plumbers, IMO. It's one of life's great pleasures to grasp a rosemary
branch, slide your hand along it and then smell your palm.
