Rosemary in a Pot

[Misky]

I have a rosemary bush in a pot and at the minute it's fit and healthy, and smelling fab. Should I prune it for the Winter? If so, how far back should I go:? The gardening books I have don't mention growing it in a pot. It's about three feet high at the minute, and looks mental but I love it.

They are best pruned soon after flowering.
Trim your bush lightly with shears, You may wish to use the clippings in the kitchen or pot up some as cuttings or maybe just put them around the bar-b-q for some mouth-watering smells. Good Luck Tbird+
