'Arp' Rosemary

"Arp" Rosemary is the most cold hardy Rosemary. It is cold hardy to -10°F to -5°F. (USDA Zone 6) I live on the border between zone 5 and zone 6. So it may be just a tad bit too cold. So in order to keep it alive and have an herb to pick from all winter (for cooking or simply to smell), I will give it winter protection when the forecast predicts it to go below zero next winter. It is an evergreen. I am still not sure what I will use for winter protection. I think I may either just do a thick layer of burlap or I may put a clear plastic
tub/box with burlap as extra protection.
