About this deal
When Rosemary was 23 years old, doctors told her father that a form of psychosurgery known as a lobotomy would help calm her mood swings and stop her occasional violent outbursts. [18] [19] Joseph Kennedy decided that Rosemary should have a lobotomy; however, he did not inform his wife of this decision until after the procedure was completed. [17] [20] The procedure took place in November 1941. [4] [21] In Ronald Kessler's 1996 biography of Joseph Kennedy, Sins of the Father, James W. Watts, who carried out the procedure with Walter Freeman (both of George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences), described the procedure to Kessler as follows:
Kept well fed and watered, the Loving Memory rose should treat you to repeat bursts of flower through a growing season that can last until November. Thinking of You – a wonderful rose for a sympathy gift Following her father's death in 1969, the Kennedys gradually involved Rosemary in family life again. [5] Rosemary was occasionally taken to visit relatives [32] in Florida and Washington, D.C., and to her childhood home on Cape Cod. By that time, Rosemary had learned to walk again, but did so with a limp. She never regained the ability to speak clearly, and her arm was palsied. [17] Her condition is sometimes credited as the inspiration for Eunice Kennedy Shriver to later found the Special Olympics, [17] although Shriver told The New York Times in 1995 that Rosemary was just one of the disabled people she would have over to her house to swim, and that the games should not focus on any single individual.

Never Forgotten – an enduringly popular fragrant remembrance rose
In her early young adult years, Rosemary Kennedy experienced seizures and violent mood swings. In response to these issues, her father arranged a prefrontal lobotomy for her in 1941 when she was 23 years of age; the procedure left her permanently incapacitated and rendered her unable to speak intelligibly.Leamer, Laurence, The Kennedy Women: The Saga of an American Family, referenced in Associated Press article, Retarded Kennedy Sister Dies at 86, (Saturday, January 8, 2005 According to Rosemary's sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver, when Rosemary returned to the United States from the United Kingdom in 1940, she became "'increasingly irritable and difficult'" at the age of 22. [7] Rosemary would often experience convulsions [14] and fly into violent rages in which she would hit and injure others [2] during this period. After being expelled from a summer camp in western Massachusetts and staying only a few months at a Philadelphia boarding school, Rosemary was sent to a convent school in Washington, D.C. [2] Rosemary began sneaking out of the convent school at night. [15] The nuns at the convent thought that Rosemary might be involved with sexual partners, and that she could contract a sexually transmitted disease [5] or become pregnant. [16] Her occasionally erratic behavior frustrated her parents; her father was especially worried that Rosemary's behavior would shame and embarrass the family and damage his and his children's political careers.
