I lost mine regularly until someone told me that in clay soil you have
to mix in lots of sand and compost, or even fine gravel, so that water
won't be held around the crown in winter. I never mulch them for winter.
Many herbs do better treated this way, thyme for example, and probably
your rosemary also, though I haven't grown it.
