England manager Gareth Southgate said he "heard the abuse of Rose" and the incidents will be reported to UEFA who is Europes governing body for football.
However, Montenegro coach Ljubisa Tumbakovic said he did not "hear or notice any" racist abuse, despite the racist chnats being heard on national TV.
Southgate, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, added: "There's no doubt in my mind it happened. I know what I heard. It's unacceptable. We have to make sure our players feel supported, they know the dressing room is there and we as a group of staff are there for them.
"We have to report it through the correct channels. It is clear that so many people have heard it and we have to continue to make strides in our country and trust the authorities to take the right action."
What happened?
After only six minutes, BBC Radio 5 Live commentator Ian Dennis said he heard racist chants when Tottenham left-back Rose was in possession. BBC football correspondent John Murray also said he heard the chanting throughout the game and spoke to pitch-side photographers who described the abuse the England players received as "disgusting".
Raheem Sterling scored England's fifth goal in the 81st minute and celebrated by putting his hands to his ears, a gesture he later said was a response to the racist abuse.
In injury time, Rose was booked following a strong challenge on Aleksandar Boljevic, with more racist chants aimed at the 28-year-old. It is not the first time Rose has faced this situation on international duty.
He was racially abused in Serbia in an under-21 game in 2012. Serbia's FA was fined £65,000, with their under-21s having to play a game behind closed doors.

England's outstanding win in Montenegro should be a cause for celebration - instead it was overshadowed by the shameful racist abuse aimed at Southgate's players.
Those close to the pitch in Podgorica delivered grim reports of what was being suffered by players in what is unquestionably an unforgiving, hostile and unpleasant arena.
Raheem Sterling's cupped ear response towards the Montenegro fans after scoring was revealing. It was clearly a pointed response to what he had been hearing on the terraces in this small stadium.
It brought a furious response, with more chants and an object being thrown on to the pitch which was retrieved by Chelsea player Hudson-Odoi, so at least three players were subject to racial abuse during the game.
