Otherwise known as "why Rosemary may be considered an annual to some".
Wikipedia says:
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a woody, perennial herb with fragrant evergreen needle-like leaves. It is native to the Mediterranean region.
The name rosemary derives from the Latin name rosmarinus, which is from "dew" (ros) and "sea" (marinus), or "dew of the sea"[2] because in many locations it needs no other water than the humidity carried by the sea breeze to live.
Ok, I see why it flourishes with our hot and humid summers, but Mediterranean and snow just don't mix!
This gentle 3" snow is pretty nice, last year the snow totally covered the plant and I lost it.
This replacement grew to be about 24" in one year even after a lot of cuttings, not too bad!
Sometimes they winter over with no problem and some years we have to start over again.
I buy them for $1 at the nursery, so starting over is not too painful!

PS-I do recommend Root Blast from QVC, or wherever you might find it. It's worth trying!
