p61. Mr. and Mrs. J. Grose. Roses And Their Use In Floral Art.
Montezuma that exquisite orange-red rose that lasts so well in bud, tempts us to arrange it in a blue-green pottery basket.

p62. ibid. Montezuma Orange-salmon; will keep fresh as a bud for days......
'Spartan' a prolific bloomer which resembles a small Montezuma

p96 Mr. S. Cottrell, Brisbane.
Montezuma The plant is very healthy and although the flowers which are produced in abundance do fade in the hot sun, they are outstanding during the cooler months in colour, form and size. They have wonderful lasting ability.

p135. L. C. Smart. Championship Roses.
Montezuma recorded their victories during the autumn..... 'Montezuma' is a variety that is definitely here to stay, although colour stability and intolerance to rain may detract from its qualities. An excellent rose as a cut flower and long lasting.

141. Mr. W. Pettigrove, Coburg, Victoria.
It is also interesting to note that, as well as winter and summer trimming, I have to thin out the Montezuma bushes late in November, as they make such tremendous growth.

The coral-red colouring of Montezuma is also something different from any shade of red we had before. On dull, cloudy days the colour seems to glow with greater brilliance than it does when the garden is filled with sunshine.

Montezuma Planted last year, not growing very well. Was a very weak nursery plant. The blooms burn badly.
Book  (1961)  
 
p16 Dr. A. S. Thomas:
'Mischief' bears a resemblance to 'Montezuma' in colour, but the blooms are slightly smaller and more widespread.

p69 Mr. E. Annabel, Lakemba, NSW.
Montezuma Bleaches in hot weather.

p70 Mr. S. Cottrell, Brisbane, Q'ld.
Montezuma is outstanding in cool weather, but is too small in the summer.

p90 L. W. Donaldson, Leith Valley, Otago. NZ
Montezuma A reliable rose. Good wood, good foliage and good growth. The salmon-red blooms keep coming throughout the season. Excellent for cutting.

p27. C. H. Isaac. The Floribunda Roses.
....There is possibly some justification for this kind of thinking because of the flowering habits of the Grandifloras - they flower to a good extent in clusters and freely over a long period - but they don't look like Floribundas - they look like Hybrid Teas. How could anyone, seeing the magnificent blooms of Montezuma which are being staged in winning groups of Hybrid Teas in our Rose Shows, possibly think of them as Floribundas.

Montezuma (Swim), I love this one for its very eye-catching buds.

p72. H. K. Cresswell. Growing Roses in Brisbane.
Montezuma has attracted more attention than any other rose in Brisbane in recent years. It has good form, striking colour, strong growth, prolific flowering and resistance to black spot. A bloom that lasts so long after cutting will always be in demand in this warm climate.

p94. H. J. Brown. Do We Over-Rate New Roses?
I have read of Montezuma being described as the "rose of the century".....

p105. B/w photo. Montezuma exhibited at a N.R.S.Q. show.

p128. L. W. Donaldson, Dunedin.
Montezuma. What a sturdy bush! Strong healthy growth and abundant foliage. The bush produces buds singly or in clusters of up to a dozen on one stem. The flowers are several shades of salmon and red and I would prefer someone more qualified to describe them more accurately.

'Aztec' ....opens much better than does Montezuma and appears not to burn readily. Also, the flower is much bigger.

p110. David Ruston. Roses Under Irrigation.
Of the fancy colours, I consider Montezuma little behind 'Mme. A. Meilland' as the "rose of the century". Its buds of glowing salmon red are of lovely shape and unique colour and it is as free-blooming as any rose I know. I cannot rate this rose too highly.

Bertram Park. Why Grandiflora?
Those already nominated are 'Queen Elizabeth' which is of course outstanding, 'Reno', 'Merry Widow' , 'Carrousel'. 'June Bride', 'Roundelay', 'Buccaneer' and Montezuma. The last is a first class rose and gives very fine large well formed blooms of definite HT type and nothing else.
