The cuttings will root over the winter months in just plain water. Around March I transplant the cuttings into pots and then in about 4 weeks, I plant these pots in the large pots outdoors. I never have to buy Rosemary using this technique.

Rosemary-DIY
I grow Rosemary all summer long in pots. I have found that these pots typically do not survive the winter indoors well. But I have a trick that I have used for years. I take cuttings from my pots and strip some of the woody stem away. I then place these cuttings in a jar of water and place the jar in a southern window over the winter. I then clip the Rosemary during the winter to use in my cooking. Sometimes it even will blossom with purple flowers.
