p111-13 ‘Australian Roses in NZ’ Mr. S. R. Bird, Auckland, NZ refers to favourable comment expressed by visitors to Auckland’s Civic Rose Garden on some of Mr. Alister Clark’s Roses, particularly Busybody, which, because of its many qualities as a garden Rose, should be more largely grown: During last winter at the Auckland Civic Rose Garden, Mr. Alister Clark’s Busybody continued to bloom splendidly, the rich tints being the cause of much favourable comment by visitors. This Rose will surely find its way into everyone’s garden on its own merits, without the aid of lurid catalogue descriptions. Its abundant disease-resistant foliage is a credit to the raiser, and provides a model which European hybridisers would be well advised to copy, instead of sending out the same old weak-foliaged, die-back plants with, perhaps, slight variations in colour combinations.

Busybody (H.T.) (Alister Clark, 1928). F2. True to its name, this rose never seems to rest. No rose could be more free, as every shoot carries a shapely bud of rich orange yellow. The bush is compact and the flowers well held. The foliage is abundant and healthy and is retained through the winter. It makes an ideal bedding rose and should be massed. It is at its best in autumn and into deep winter when its colour is most striking. Recommended for bedding. Tea [scent] Evergreen.
