From Margaret Williams in New Zealand. She adds "almost the same description from Lippiatt 1924." (We're grateful Margaret - thanks)
1922 Christchurch Nurseries
Fairy Gem Tea Polyantha (Lippiatt 1905) beautiful pale pink with a coppery shade; after the style of Cecil Brunner, but longer in the bud and more elegant in form than that variety, as well is much deeper in colour. A real gem

FAIRY GEM - Tea Polyantha (Lippiatt, 1905). Beautiful pale pink with a coppery shade; after the style of Cecile Brunner, but longer in the bud and more elegant in form than that variety, as well as much deeper in colour. A real gem.

This is exactly the sort of description we have been searching for, Billy. It is sounding more and more like the rose currently sold as 'Mme. Jules Thibaud'. Very well done!
Can I just double check that date. 1905 or 1908?
