Miss Jessopp's Upright
A tier
Miss Jessopp’s Upright is a tall, narrow British-selected rosemary with excellent hardiness and strong culinary needles—ideal where winters punish tender prostrate types. Flavour is full traditional rosemary. Strip for roasts and oils; use long stems as kebab skewers. A favourite of UK kitchen gardens and cold-climate cooks who still want upright rosemary.
