A highly black spot resistant breeding line derived from R. wichurana “Basye’s Thornless” (black spot resistant)—J06-20-14-3 (J14-3) according to Dong et al., a moderately resistant cultivar “Old Blush” (OB) and three susceptible cultivars with excellent ornamental characteristics—“Little Chief” (LC), “Red Fairy” (RF), and “Vineyard Song” (VS) were used to generate the three diploid populations (2n = 2x = 14) for linkage map construction

[From "Faux Kin", by Jim Delahanty, pp. 19-25]
‘Red Fairy’ acquired its name by virtue of a perceived similarity in growth habits and other traits. While the parentage of ‘Red Fairy’ is clear in the statement of its patent application, that stated parentage is clouded by doubts as to the possible outcome of such a cross. As reported in the patent application, the parentage of ‘Red Fairy’ is recorded as a cross of the miniature ‘Simon Robinson’ with itself. However, per the discussion on www.helpmefind.com, it would be nearly impossible for that combination of single roses to produce the double bloom, red flower clusters that identify ‘Red Fairy.’ But whether ‘Red Fairy’ stems from a cross of ‘Simon Robinson’ with itself or an unknown, it does not resonate with the roses comprising the parentage of ‘The Fairy,’ a union of ‘Paul Crampel’ x ‘Lady Gay;’ ‘Paul Crampel’ derives from the ‘Orleans Rose’ line of polyanthas and ‘Lady Gay’ from the wichurana line of ramblers. ‘Simon Robinson’ is a cross of a wichurana with ‘Floradora’ and ‘New Penny,’ a cross of two Ralph Moore breeding roses, ‘0-47-19’ and ‘Zee.’
