Patricia Kent is a vigorous plant that can be used either as a bedding rose, pruned annually to contain its size, or treated as a garden shrub, pruned lightly, to enable it to develop into a specimen plant. The plant produces large clusters of light yellow blooms. It has a broad, bushy growth habit making it highly effective when incorporated in garden designs, or in any group-planting situation such as in borders or hedges. It is also suitable as a cut flower as it produces an abundance of long stems. Introduced at the RHS Chelsea Flower show 2004 by Harkness Roses.
