'Busybody' rose References
Magazine (Mar 2021) Page(s) 4. Vol 43, No. 1. Includes photo(s). Margaret Furness: Some years ago a southern nursery sent out........ There may have been a similar swap of Sunlit (thornless, 1937, right) and Busybody (has prickles, 1929, below), two Clark roses with similar form and pink eyelashes. Both are regarded as “cuspy” Tea-HT.
Book (2008) p43. It is perhaps ironic that Clark released few Teas himself, preferring to call his Tea seedlings Hybrid Teas or Hybrid Giganteas. Even ‘Busybody’, which has two Tea parents, was introduced as a Hybrid Gigantea.

Book (1997) p215 In a letter of Alister’s I found reference to the fact that ‘Edith Clark’, ‘Busybody’ and ‘Peggy Bell’ were doing well in Dettman’s garden. Hugh Dettman is long dead. So I rang his daughter and obtained permission to visit his one-time garden. The house had been let ever since his death. It is a rare tenant who cares for the garden. These had not. Of this once loved and well-tended garden nothing remained save for a tangle of rank grasses and weeds, a few tired and dejected rose bushes …. I took cuttings…… ‘Busybody’ would be easier [to identify] – “rich, orange-yellow buttonhole rose” – but when my cuttings took, I found nothing that fitted that description.
