In any case, add as much as much as you'd like based on your own palate. After all, the most important thing is to please you and the people who will join you at your dinner table.
Ah, another recipe from the late great Laurie Colwin! If you don't know them, try also her Damp Gingerbread recipe (adapted from Delia Smith) and her chutney (written for USA with lemons, adapted from an India recipe for lime chutney). And her roast chicken.

But back to your question. No reason not to use fresh rosemary, but be careful on amounts.
Usual ratio is 3:1 fresh to dry. But since rosemary is a strong herb, I would start with 1:1 fresh to dry, taste as you go and add more if and when you want.
