Two years ago I planted some Arp rosemary along with another upright variety. One Arp looks dead, and the other two are not far behind. The other variety is going gangbusters. Was there too much rain this spring for the Arp variety?

Poor soil drainage and excessive rainfall are definitely enemies of rosemary. If you replant with rosemary, incorporate washed builder's sand or other clean sand/fine gravel and build up a berm for planting. Avoid planting near the drip line of a building or where runoff accumulates. Another problem is a green worm (lipidopterous larvae) that feeds near the growing point, killing individual leaves.
