There was an article in an American Herb magazine some years ago about an
researcher who collected hundreds of varieties of rosemary from around the
country for trialing. I think they were mainly interested in cold
tolerance. Anyone know who this was?
Australia is not great on cultivars because of our unintelligent, paranoid,
Gestapoish, haphazard customs.
 I grow about six varieties of Rosemary all have a slightly different fragrance
We buy our Rosemary Oil from a little farm in France but most production is
now in Tunisia.
Verbenone content seems to be very variable in Rosmary Oil.
Is this because of variety  or other factors?
