There is not much difference in the smell of the three varieties of rosemary: upright rosemary, creeping rosemary and broad-leaved rosemary, all of which have a sweet and piney odor.

Broadleaf rosemary is the most beautiful, neat and ornamental. If you want to see the flowers, we recommend creeping rosemary, because it has the longest flowering period, light blue flowers from spring until fall. Upright rosemary has the strongest aroma, with a light turpentine flavor, and is generally used in churches as incense or for rituals such as mass.
