What is the significance of rosemary?

Answer 1

Rosemary's Baby is a novel by Ira Levin and also a movie starring Mia Farrow. It is about a young couple who move into a new apartment in New York City. The husband (Guy) is a struggling actor. When Rosemary mysteriously becomes pregnant, she begins to suspect that her husband and her neighbors (the Castavets) are involved with witchcraft, and the blessing of her baby turns out to be less of a blessing after all... I highly recommend you read the book and/or see the movie.

Answer 2

Rosemary is thought to increase longevity and memory. But, because smells can help us remember things and Rosemary has such a strong, distinct smell, those assumptions probably came about before the smell/memory study was done. =)

It's a GREAT herb! Smells good, tastes great with poultry, and is really pretty and will eventually bloom with lots of tiny blue flowers.
