'Lady Woodward' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Information from Eric Timewell in his June 21, 2015 comment under 'Lubra':
... Once we can extract 'Lady Woodward' from John [Nieuwesteeg] (John to Stan to Morwell) they will have the lot.

Lady Woodward was born Amy Freame Weller in Ballarat, and known as Bud or Buddy. Eric Woodward spent his long and distinguished military career alternating between the British and the Australian Army. He was appointed governor of NSW in 1957 and retired in 1965. They moved to Wahroonga on the North Shore; after his death in 1967 Lady Woodward took a harbour-view flat in Kirribilli.
The governor was traditionally patron of the NSW Rose Society and his wife traditionally dedicatee of one of its members' roses, in this case Riethmuller's only surviving hybrid tea.
