Rosemary stands by the front door.


My old friend Rosemary-Rosmarinus stands by the front door .She must be at very old. Rosemary stands about 4 foot tall and is beautifully shaped. She has a wonderful perfume I often crush her in my hands as I go past her in the morning on the way to work. She is a symbol of friendship, loyalty, and remembrance. She is traditionally carried at weddings and funerals. Rosemary is a hardy lady not liking it too cold or wet. Rosemary has a dress of green pointy needle like leaves scattered with blue, pink, or white flowers.

I have given friends little rosemary?s taken from cuttings from my plant. They are fairly easy to do. Take a cutting with secateur?s or a sharp Knife about 3 inches long remove the leaves from the bottom inch or so. Dab this in rooting hormone and pop them in a pot of well-drained compost keep the compost watered. Soon Rosemary will root and produce another scented plant.
Rosemary can grow to about 5 foot tall.

Just thought a wonderfull leaving present for someone who is leaving my work next week.Wouldn't have thought of it if I had not been writing this opp Rosemary for rememberance So she will remember me when she smells it.

Rosemary is rich in volatile oil, flavenoids and phenolicacids, which are antiseptic and anti-inflammatory.

Large doses for pregnant women are not to be recommended can cause abortion.

An infusion of rosemary (rosemary boiled in water) used to rinse your hair makes your hair shiny (so I have read).

Rosemary added to the bath is stimulating. The smell in the bathroom after would be lovely too.

I like the smell of rosemary thrown on to the barbeque.

Rosemary can be added to pot pourri?s to scent your room

My mother always adds a sprig of Rosemary to the lamb joint when she is roasting it.


Thank you for reading

Great smell. Rosemary for me in Ratatouille and put on the oven floor when roasting lamb.

I reckon rosemary is one of THE nicest smells ever!

I always use it with potato dishes, and on flat breads. Mmmmm.
