I think you are right.  As I understand it a number of cathedrals had 
their own rite abd then the Council of Trent developed what was intended 
as a universal rite (Tridentine) to stress the unity of the Church in 
the Counter-Reformation.

> which also called for the use of a sackcloth color for Lent which has a specific name I can't recall just now. In our time some priests want the latter if blue is desired for Advent. I've not before heard about the rose color specifically attached to the Sarum Rite. This Rite may have been associated with or begun by the great cathedral at Salisbury which was once a community named Sarum.
