He competed in the individual 25 m rapid-fire event at the 1964 and 1968 Olympics and won a silver medal in 1968, placing sixth in 1964. He also won three team medals at the world championships in 1966, 1970 and 1974.

Roșca was born in a family of singers and always wanted to become one. In 1968, he graduated from the Theatrical Arts Academy, but instead of pursuing a theatrical career became an officer for the Traffic Division of the Bucharest Police.

In 1970, he was a winner of the X Factor TV show "Star without name". After that he sang as a bass with the Romanian National Opera before defecting to West Germany in 1984.
