  We study the electromagnetic transitions of the Roper N(1440) resonance. Our
results, when combined with the previously obtained for the mass and the pionic
strong decay widths of the Roper, show that within a non-relativistic
constituent quark model scheme, a comprehensible understanding of the Roper
phenomenology can be achieved. They also seem to support the view of the Roper
as a radial excitation of the nucleon, though more experimental data are needed
to reach a definitive conclusion.
