It’s all coming up roses Saturday at the White House.
First Lady Melania Trump gave the nation its first peek at the freshly renovated White House Rose Garden, just in time to use it as a backdrop for her Tuesday speech at the Republican National Convention.
“Excited to honor history & celebrate the future in our beautiful @WhiteHouse, Rose Garden this evening,” the first lady tweeted. “Thank you to all who helped renew this iconic & truly gorgeous space.”
The garden, located just outside the Oval Office, dates back to 1913 and was redesigned in the early 1960s under the direction of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.
Trump’s changes include the restoration of the original diamond-shaped boxwood hedges and the installation of new rose bushes to honor the space’s history. The floral display includes cream-colored “JFK” roses, light yellow “Peace” roses, and the stark white “Pope John Paul II” rose to commemorate the pontiff’s visit to the White House in 1979.

Didn’t have to renovate it. That lady could walk threw the bury and it would shine for the first time in years. You wouldn’t notice rainbow skreets or blm, for that matter. Might even look like Salisbury again. Go Trump!
ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteNice job ripping out the historic landscaping planted by Jackie Kennedy.
ReplyDeleteWho cares
DeleteWow...time for renovation if that’s old. Especially from a Kennedy
Deleteawesome
ReplyDeleteI know they got rid of Michael Obama Watermelon garden
Hard to get rid of all the Okara, watermellons, and turnips the Obama's had planted.
ReplyDeleteShe’s the most beautiful and elegant First Lady in history
ReplyDeleteDitto !
Delete"...She said in a statement she hoped to better reflect the garden’s design in 1962, completed partly under the direction of Jackie Kennedy."
ReplyDeleteAs you might recall, Jackie's work was interrupted by the death of her husband.
The renovation was reported to have been paid for by private donations.
3:34... times are a changing and it's you that's finding it impossible to assimilate into US culture.
ReplyDelete3:33 She was trying to return it to the way Jackie Kennedy had designed it. You Democrats would think it was beautiful and artistic if the Obamas took a dump in a bucket and called it flowers. Which pretty much sums up their entire time in office.
ReplyDeleteIt was long overdue for a change!! Looks beautiful!
ReplyDeletePatricia Nixon and Betty Ford were to drunk to do anything with it Rosalyn only knew how to cultivate peanuts Nancy could not be bothered with her psychic Babs had no imagination Hillary had other ambitions Michelle just needed to get out of the house. Tad Lincolns pony is buried around there somewhere I just hope they did not disrupt his grave.
