In a letter written to Secretary Hatton on August 16, 1939, Mr. Horvath, who had in the meantime looked up his old records, wrote thus:
"It was not in New Jersey where I was employed by the firm of Pitcher & Manda (also known as United States Nurseries) but after leaving P. & M., from where I went to Newport, R. I., that the birth of the Wichuraiana hybrids occurred. It was while I was absent from Newport, leaving my plants in charge of V. Vanicek, a friend of W. A. Manda, that the original hybrid plants were given to him, thus finding their way into commerce. Corrections may now be made, because I have found the record of the missing pollinate parent of the two pink hybrids. R. Wichuraiana X Agrippina gave two crosses, including Pink Roamer and South Orange Perfection.

Wichuraiana Hybrid Roses
The Pink Roamer Rose has been known favorably for many years. The blossoms are rich, ruddy pink, with white center often flushed with red, and have the Sweetbrier odor. They are produced in profuse clusters, and have marked individuality by reason of their showiness. The plant grows vigorously. The foliage is rich green and lustrous, and often persists until December. This delightful Rose may be grown successfully in almost any part of the United States, and will fulfil about as many purposes as any other of its class.
