Any Great Lakes area Rosemary ARP gardeners?

[Earthbound]

Anyone in the Great Lakes area growing Rosemary ARP? Just wondering how they overwinter in our area?

This stuff is supposed to be fairly hardy.. anyone test it out yet? I plan on bringing bout half of my plants in, and heavy mulch the outside babies.

Fishing for some do's and don'ts here i guess.
Cheers!

Great Lakes area has variable winter lows doesn't it? So much further north than my area (Zone 6b), but in some areas, it's warmer.

This is my 2nd year trying to grow Arp in the garden. Last year, I bought a plant in August and planted it, but it didn't survive the winter. Thinking that it didn't have time enough to establish a good root system, this year, I bought a couple of plants in early spring (ended up with a bargain as they were badly root-bound leftovers from the previous season that the local herb lady didn't think would sell among the fresh new rosemary plants) and planted them in the ground right away. They have grown very well through the season. We'll see how they fair this year. I'm planning to mulch them well as well.
