White House Unveils Rose Garden Following Mar-a-Lago Renovations

The White House Rose Garden has undergone significant renovations inspired by President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, including new hard surfaces for a patio and the addition of bright yellow umbrellas from Mar-a-Lago, gilt cherubs, Rococo mirrors, and medallions that reflect Trump's signature style. The roses themselves remain untouched, preserving the garden's traditional elements. President Trump personally tested new speakers and curated a playlist featuring songs like "God Bless the USA" as preparations begin for what he describes as "the best event in the history of the White House." The renovations are part of broader changes at the White House, including gold embellishments in the Oval Office and plans for a new $200 million grand ballroom. Trump and First Lady Melania had previously renovated the garden during his earlier presidency, paying homage to its original 1962 design. The first White House party on the new patio is anticipated to be for the press, signaling a new era of Trump’s personal imprint on the executive mansion.
