‘Aztec’ = Hybride de Thé… écarlate clair irisé de vermillon, à la fois intense et doux… remontée sans reproche, même si la floraison n’est jamais prolifique… Le rosier est une déception. Courtaud, déjeté, il tend à s’affaler, incapable de soutenir ses fleurs, et se montre aussi chiche de pousses neuves que de ses feuilles sombres et cireuses. Swim, US 1957.

Aztec Hybrid Tea. Swim (USA) 1957. Description... light vermilion-scarlet... It was praised for the fact that it holds the vermilion tone without any trace of purple, which was the fault of 'Independence' and others in this novel color...

'Brandenburg'.....in my opinion is an improved 'Aztec'.

There is always scope for improvements such as an Aztec with rigid stems, a 'Montezuma' that does not burn....

Dr. A. S. Thomas:
The orange-scarlet to flame colouring [of 'Heat Wave'] makes this rose almost the Floribunda counterpart of 'Aztec'

Aztec (Swim, 1957) : Long, high-centred scarlet-orange double blooms that range up to six inches in diameter. Good foliage and medium growth. A very fine variety.

p17.  Dr. A. S. Thomas: .....'Christian Dior' and 'Aztec' are probably the best new red roses for several years and 'Aztec' is hardly a genuine red.

Aztec (Swim): This bush sprawls too much to suit us.  It has well-formed blooms of red-orange. Good for rose shows if you happen to get it just right.

Aztec HT. (Swim, 1957) Beautiful warm shade of orange scarlet. Well-shaped blooms with nicely reflexed petals. Beween twenty-five and thirty petals as a rule, but sometimes more. A little obvious pruning will overcome the tendency toward a spreading habit of growth. This is a very fine variety.

'Heat Wave' and 'Aztec', by the same hybridiser, are very similar in colouring.

Aztec HT. (Swim, 1957). We have had excellent brick-red or flame colouring in Floribundas for some years, all bred from 'Baby Chateau' or from one or other of its descendants, notably 'Kordes' Sondermeldung' and 'Floradora'. This is the first really good HT in this colour group. It opens much better than does 'Montezuma' and appears not to burn readily. Also, the flower is much bigger. Early flowering and little perfume. The main fault seems to lie in the sprawling habit of growth.
