Rose sadly contracted TB in the 1920's after she was married and for which there was no known cure at the time. The family moved often to try to find an area with an improved air quality. Rose's final address in London was 19 Savernake Road, fronting on to Hampstead Heath.
Eventually, her condition worsened and she was given an LCC place at a nursing home on the Isle of Wight. Her address there was Hawthorne Dene, Bonchurch, Ventnor - believed to be a nursing home. It was later renamed as Bonchurch Manor Hotel and now (2014) sadly being split into more than one property.
Rose was buried in Ventnor Cemetery, section P, grave space 335 on 23rd June 1931
Extract from A History of the Isle Of Wight Hospitals by E. F. Laidlaw
"Meanwhile the Royal National Hospital (R.N.H.) at Ventnor offered to take Island patients at three guineas per patient per week; beds were also available at this time at Hawthorndene in Bonchurch and at the Hermitage. The former later became an outpost of the LCC and accommodated about 30 convalescent girls and women, medical care being provided by the local practitioners and supervision in respect of their Tuberculosis by Dr Miller who visited weekly; the patients were brought to the R.N.H. for X-rays and occasionally admitted for treatment."
