I brought those rosemary in, a couple started to put out tiny, pale new growth on only some branches, then died except for one. I <a href="http://tinyfarmblog.com/2007/02/20/rosemary-revival/" rel="nofollow">started a bunch of cuttings</a> from that one, which <a href="http://tinyfarmblog.com/2007/04/04/rosemary-cloned/" rel="nofollow">worked out quite well</a>. They were transplanted to the garden last spring, and continued just fine...but now they're still <a href="http://tinyfarmblog.com/2007/11/23/rosemary-under-snow/" rel="nofollow">stuck under snow</a> (I never brought 'em in...). They get tested again! I've found varieties online that're apparently really hardy, and the unnamed variety I have could probably take 18°F in the ground, not in pots, maybe with some mulch or cover.... We'll see how they do, along with the Barbecue cultivar, later on...

I get conflicting stories about how cold tolerant Roemary is. Seems to weather the winters here which will occasionally get around 18 degs F. Did they ever come back?

I've had two lovely plants die this year also... the sudden cold snaps are just awful for them. Oh, poor rosemary.
