Even if the area where she lives can't support a year round rosemary
bush, they grow quickly. She can root a sprig or buy one already
rooted and plant it somewhere... or just buy a bundle of fresh
rosemary from the grocery or vegetable store, chop it up and freeze
what she doesn't use. There's no good reason anymore not to use fresh
rosemary. Lemon, garlic, olive oil and rosemary make a great
lamb/chicken rub too.
