Remove rib roast from packaging; place in a roasting pan allowing to come to room temperature in about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Generously season all sides of rib roast with salt and pepper. Place roast in a roasting pan, fat-side up. Arrange half of the rosemary in the bottom of the pan around the roast.
Roast for 30 minutes; reduce heat to 350 degrees; cook 1 hour 30 minutes more for medium rare. Keep in mind that the roast will continue cooking once it comes out of the oven. (It takes about 15-20 minutes per pound.)*
Remove roast from oven; cover with foil; let rest 15-20 minutes. This is a very important step! Letting the meat rest before slicing will make sure you don't lose all of its juices, and will ensure the roast increases in internal temperature. Simply transfer the meat to a cutting board and loosely tent it with foil.
Slice along ribs to remove them, then separate each rib and put them aside. Slice the roast crossways against the grain.
Serve on a platter with the ribs and remaining half of fresh rosemary.
12 servings.
*Follow these internal temperatures for removing the meat from the oven, based on the desired doneness:
Medium-rare: 110º
Medium: 120º
Medium-well: 130º
Well: 140º
