Initial post 8 MAY by Patricia Routley
Can anyone shed more light on the 1937 and 1938 ‘Miss America’ references to ‘Opal’.
I note the parentage is slightly different to that of ‘Miss America’.

Not a lot, but it's interesting to note that in the 1936, 1937 and 1938 publications of 'All about the new roses' by J.H. Nicolas published by the Jackson and Perkins Company neither 'Opal' or 'Miss America' are mentioned and that Nicolas died in 1937.

Editing to add that 'Miss America' appears in the 1939 publication of the above.
