Growing:
USDA zone 4b through 9b. Can be used for beds and borders, container rose or garden. Very vigorous. Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
Notes:
Arena Rose Co.'s Catalog 2000 says Montezuma produces clusters of high-centered blooms of salmony-red... In The Ultimate Rose Book, Stirling Macoboy says, "Emperor Montezuma was one of the all-time great gardeners."
["Rose Marian" was found by Alice Dadd and given to Mostly Roses Nursery, Western Australia prior to 1997. Identified by Patricia Routley in 2018 by comparing "Rose Marian" with a named bush of 'Montezuma' at the David Martin garden in Manjimup.]
