At some Victorian weddings, a bride would wear a sprig of rosemary to show
that she carried with her loving memories of her old home to her new one.
In France, the Victorian meaning was “Your presence revives me,”
perhaps because the strong, sharp smell seems to stimulate the senses.
During the Middle Ages, rosemary would be grown in several pots,
each pot named with a potential lover.
The answer would be the plant that grew the fastest and strongest.

Greek scholars were known to twine rosemary in their hair when
studying for exams in the hope of aiding their memories.

According to one old ballad:
“Rosemary is for remembrance
Between us day and night,
Wishing that I may always have
You present in my sight.”

Parkinson (1567-1650), the King's Botanist to Charles I, mentions that
in countries where rosemary was well-suited and grows to a large size
that thin boards of rosemary were used to make lutes and other
instruments, carpenters rules, and a myriad of other implements.
The French believed that combing their hair once a day with a
rosemary wood comb would prevent giddiness.
Rosemary wood was so prized that unscrupulous merchants would
often use less expensive woods and simply scent them
with rosemary oil.

Shakespeare's (1564 1616) has a part in rosemary history.
His Ophelia says in Hamlet,
“There's rosemary, that's for remembrance. Pray you, love, remember!”
