More information

Kent is a shrub rose that has received many awards, including in competition with traditional hybrid tea roses and floribundas. It is often cited as evidence that shrub roses can occupy prominent positions in garden settings. The flowers are small, semi-double, clear white, with a light fragrance. It blooms profusely and continuously in small clusters across the plant throughout the season until the first frost. The flowers are backed by dark foliage that shows disease resistance. The bush is low and spreading. It is used in mass plantings, at the front of borders, and is frequently grown in containers.
