QUAERITUR: Rose vestments during the week after Gaudete Sunday?

Rosacea vestments during the week after the 3rd Sunday of Advent?

I reader sent me this:

In re: Rosacea, today I came across this interesting instruction, found in "Matters Liturgical" 9th edition (1956):
 
119. b. Rose-color vestments may also be worn, if the ferial Office is said on the Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday following the 3rd Sunday of Advent (S.R.C.: Nov. 7, 1935; see The Priest: April of 1952).
 
So Rose on Thursday it may be.  After all, I read it in a book.

 

This obviously applied to the TLM.

Anything more to be said about this?
