Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I think Order of the Romarin is the most likely, but I will ask the client to see if they can find out from the end client what the writer actually means. I'll let you know if I get a response.

order of rosemary plants


Explanation:
Maybe they used ordre rather than commande to mean order here? Perhaps rosemary plants that had been ordered?

order as in family


Explanation:

appartient à la famille du romarin

is part of the romarin family
