We were so upset! I now just bought two little rosemary starts and hopefully they'll live as long as our other one did.

    I bought an 'Arp' variety in 2011. It survived outside NE TN until last December (2022) when we had single digit temps at Christmas. Luckily, I had taken cuttings from the original plant earlier in the year and have 3 new plants. I planted one in a pot...just in case; but I am sold on 'Arp'.

      I hope I can root some rosemary,the ones I have put in soil have been in for a few weeks now & still strong🤞🤞at least one takes,if I can grow it I'm going to plant a few..

      @@skullrose8985, with the rosemary, I rooted them in soil immediately after I pruned the bush. I think it's best to try rooting after they flower because they're too busy putting out the hormones for flowering, not rooting. If you can't root them immediately, try wrapping them in a damp paper towel (not wet), put that in a plastic bag and put that in the fridge until you're ready. It's going to be a balancing act between keeping them moist & green or too moist & rotting. I have heard of people rooting rosemary in water, but I've never had luck with that method, too wet, I think. Good luck!

      I was thinking about his comment about branches breaking because of the snow, if the snow falls in and around the plants branches, the branches are also supported by the snow, and insulated, so I don't think snow should be much of a problem, unless you plant rosemary next to your house, where a bunch of snow slides down from the roof and falls on the plant.

    So, a growbag of the required size would be a good option as it surely will not keep any moisture retention that way. I have one that I have been growing in my Elevated and Raised Cypress beds. It's getting good drainage, but I was wanting to put it in a growbag, most likely a 15 or 20 gallon one. I'll make sure it's a very Perlite heavy mix for it now. Thank you for all of the good information about it. Mine came from the grocery store... LoL 🤠👍 Also, I use mine for its intended purpose. So I "Prune" if often but lightly. So, I rarely need to actually prune it. Mine is only 4 years old at the moment, but it's a nice size, a little smaller than the one you have.

    I’m in zone 6; eastern PA and arp lived in the center of my yard for 30+ years and even bloomed!
    I NEVER brought it in.
    I had a small prostratus and brought it in and they live till April and then die right before it’s time to put it out again!
    There was a wooden fence on the north face but 8’ away! It did get south exposure most of the day and I never covered it even from 20+ inches of snow!
    I recently moved a few miles away into the next town and immediately planted another 5” rosemary plant. She lived there next to the sunroom with not too much south light (afternoon only) but under the eaves so she didn’t get too much overwatering from rain.
    She lived six years and grew SO BIG that she literally took over half my patio.
    I pruned her hard and she came back beautifully.
    She bloomed and grew until a severe, very frigid winter took her. She even had ice on her branches.
    When I had to remove her, she was huge; her roots went under my porch and was very hard to remove!
    I then learned to prune them more often before they get too overgrown.
    I planted another last year and it literally tripled in size in one year. It does not get full sun till mid afternoon.
    She seems to like her location.

    I bought 3 different rosemary plants last year all kitchen edible ones. I planted all 3 in one 15 gallon fabric pot. I think I'm what's called the accidental gardener. I'm in the new zone of 7b, prior 7a and left it all winter without any shelter in the fabric pot with temps getting down to 15-20 and 40's during the day. Needless to say, it's thriving. We had a snow storm come thru and didn't bother to even check it to see how it's doing. Just looked and still going strong. I think I used Coast of Maine container mix and during the summer I watered when I thought it might need a drink so whatever Mother Nature provides is the only attention it gets. If I used fertilizer it was Alaska brand. All I can say is if it survives me it'll survive anybody.

  • @ted1091

I’ve never failed to be able to grow Rosemary. Just water so they stay happy. At the 2500’ (~800m) level, snow never bothered them, but I admit the snow never stayed longer than a week.

    My rosemary overwintered fine in zone 8b. I left it in its grow pot up against the brick foundation of the house. We got lots of rain this winter, so water was not a problem. I will repot it this year into a bigger container. I occasionally throw a little 10-10-10 on it, occasionally as well as a handful of lime. I have it in good potting soil. I will add a little vermiculite with it when I repot it. My mint also survived the winter, which surprised me. I did put a good dose of Miracle Grow on it last fall. I will treat it just like my Meyer Lemon tree. They sound like the like the same environment.

I only recall one being "chefs" type and the other 2 I can't recall. I planted around late April May and just left it alone and pretty much whatever nature provided and it's thriving outside. I'm now in 7b but had been 7a. Maybe it's the 15gal Root Pouch fabric pot and put all 3 in together. I'll have to pull it out and add more soil then back it goes. I think I used Coast of Maine container mix. Give it a try and I think it loves being ignored because that's what I did. Hope you get your rosemary thriving.

      @@suzannevega2289 Well I just went and checked and the roots are really strong and as deep at the pot with all 3. I'm just shaking my head at how great they look. All about 24 to 28" tall from maybe a 3 or 4 inch tall plant. I checked the tags and all 3 are Bonnie Plants Rosemary, doesn't say the name of the type it is. I'll have to take them out to add more soil underneath about 6" more. The fabric air prunes the roots and could be part of why their doing so well and the leaves that blew in the pot must have insulated the top of the soil is the only thing keeping them from freezing, i guess. Plant as early as you can to establish by winter and I'll bet you'll have the same success.

    Question about greenhouses...I'm in Middle TN. Usually 7a but apparently the new zoning map has me in 7b. I have a 10x16 UNHEATED greenhouse. Will Rosemary survive in that environment? While I know it will keep the frost off the plant, it still gets very cold at night....currently down to single digits, even negative Temps. I've never used my greenhouse for over wintering so I'm clueless. Thanks for any information.

    I think climate has tons to do with success. In parts of California Rosemary is planted in the median strips on the highways. Huge bushes with beautiful blue flowers. I’m going to try as a container plant this year here in Arkansas, using a black garbage bag covering in the winter. I’m thinking stakes to keep it from touching the plant and occasionally airing it when checking on it during the winter. Has anyone tried using those silver prepper “blankets” for insulation? I think I’m going to experiment and see if they might work. Black bags absorb the sun, while silver might reflect the cold. Should be interesting.

    I am actually surprised listening to this video and some of the comments made about Winter killing Rosemary. I put in a small 6 inch plant in my flower bed 12 years ago. It has sense grown to a huge bush over 5ft tall and the width around 4ft. I live in the Mojave Desert where our Summers get to 115 degress and our Winters drop well under freezing. Once in a while it will snow here. My Rosemary has never had a problem. Five years ago a new neighbor moved in next door and she planted 5 Rosemarys in her front yard that are now as big as mine. In fact hers are even healthier because they flower so well. Mine does too but hers just go crazy. She has never done anything to her Rosemarys to try and help them because they never needed any. So, this is confusing to me like I said. How come our Rosemarys can survive our desert temperatures just fine?

      When I did grow things in Los Angeles, the issue was not watering enough. Containers need more water in the hot LA summers.
      Also, you have to check if your potting mix has dried out too much. If that’s the case, it actually becomes hydrophobic. Best way to rehydrate the soil is to put the container in a bin of water and let it soak up the water for a day. Then the potting soil will be able to take water again.
      Good luck!
