Bonsai Nut alumnus... we miss you
Are you sure it's just not going to sleep for the winter?
My mother's ( she had for years 5 or 6 )
Would loss it's leaves and look dead all winter then she would bring it back out side in the spring and BAM!
It would come back to life.
Pretty certain it depends on the variety too I had them in the past that did just fine for years treated like tropicals indoors here but only watered monthly. Since then I have tried a few varieties and found one that acts as you say - https://bonsainut.com/threads/rosemary-pre-bonsai-is-dying.30549/#post-511654. Currently being brought inside a couple months back it looks dead - same as it did last year. Point is it will come back this Spring as it did last. It certainly makes it a plant of little interest in my opinion anyways
