Rosemary bush

Good evening everyone and happy new year!!

I am wanting to move my rosemary from my back garden to my garden to create a herb garden. When would be the earliest I could move it?
Thanks in advance

 

Hi Appleblossom31, unless it's a very young, recently-planted Rosemary, don't even think about moving it! Take cuttings (they strike easily in sandy/gritty compost) and plant them in your herb garden once they're putting on new growth.

 

Hi,

We just pull a young shoot down off the main stem that also comes away with a bit of a heal from the main stem, they often seem to root easier than a clean cut.
Always take several, hopefully at least one will root, we just stick them in the soil in the warmer weather. Have you got a greenhouse or little propagator ?
However they do take a year or two to get to any decent size.

If the bush is not more than say 600mm high and you 'must' move it, then take some cuttings and have a go, but cut around the bush with a spade first and take the largest root ball you can make.
The soil may seem frosted hard, but it's still workable underneath.
Would perhaps use some frost protection around it once moved
