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.

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.

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.
