The rosemary was not cultivated till now in Hungary in consequence of the frost sensitiveness of the plant. As a result of the research for selection we succeded in producing a frost resistant variety being already in spreading cultivation. The analysis result of the essential oil extracted from this new rosemary variety have made evident that besides the frost resistance the plant has diverse chemical character compared to other plant raw materials known in the professional literature, containing significantly different components. The main components obtained by steam distillation are: alpha-pinen (4,1-14,4 percent), camphen (4-4,4 percent), octen-3-on (tr.-10 percent), beta-pinen(5,3-13,7 percent), 1,8-cineol(21,3-46,4 percent), camphor (13-31 percent), borneol (1,1-3,5 percent), verbenon (2,5-11,0 percent), bornyl acetate (1,1-3,5 percent) and beta-caryophyllen (1,1-3,3 percent). From the domestic varieties the octen-3-on and verbenon have been identified by GC and GC/MS as typical components
