    These may be just buds that will develop into new branches. This would be normal. Try to gently wipe them away. If they do not wipe away, then this is what they are.

    If they do wipe away, then it might be scale. This article will help you with this problem.

    They can take the heat provided they get enough water. In a container, in those kinds of temps, it will be very hard to keep them with enough water. You may need to water 2-3 times a day if temps get over 90F.

    If you feel that you may be able to keep the plant watered, then it is fine there. But if you will not be able to do that level of water, I would look for somewhere less directly in the sun.

    If the soil is not draining well, then the rain is causing the problem. Rosemary needs well draining soil to grow well. If the soil is well draining, it could be that the plants are in shock (if you planted them in the past few weeks). This article will help with that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/learn-how-to-avoid-and-repair-transplant-shock-in-plants.htm

    It sounds like it may have a fungus, like powdery mildew, affecting the plant. This can be made worse by stress to the plant. Treat it with a fungicide and this article will help you with caring for it indoors: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/rosemary/grow-rosemary-indoors.htm

    It may not be dead, but will need ALOT of TLC to come back to its former glory. This article will tell you how to tell if it is a lost cause and what to do if it is not:

    If you do need to replace it, this article will help to keep it alive:

    I would also recommend that you not move it back and forth from inside to outside. This can be pretty stressful on a plant, especially in the winter.

    Best of luck and maybe you should just beat your husband instead of murdering him. ;)

    If they are bought from different nurseries, I would guess that the issue is likely watering. While you may think you are giving the plant the right amount of water, the water may not be reaching the roots. If you are allowing the rootball to dry out completely before watering, the soil can actually start to repel the water, which prevents it from getting to the roots.

    Never allow the rootball to go completely dry. If this does happen by accident, soak the plant's container completely submerged in water for about 10 minutes to force it to take water in again.
