The search-patch procedure in (gnu packages) – which see – uses the %patch-path parameter to figure out where patches come from. Typically, you'd place patches in the root directory, or somewhere within your GUILE_LOAD_PATH to have them picked up, but I do recommend writing your own (search-patch) or parameterizing %patch-path if you want to place them in a special location.
