As a commonly used as a stage for receptions and media events due to its proximity to the main structure, The White House Rose Garden is synonymous with many of the memorable images, and memorable Presidents throughout the years.

Prior to 1902, the area of the present-day Oval Office, Cabinet Room, and Rose Garden contained extensive stables housing horses and coaches. There was also a conservatory rose house in the area. During the 1902 Roosevelt renovation of the White House, First Lady Edith Roosevelt established a "proper colonial garden" in place of the conservatory.

First Lady Melania Trump commissioned an August 2020 renovation of the garden by Oehme, van Sweden and Perry Guillot. In the flower beds, white and pale pink rose bushes are intermixed with seasonal bulbs and annuals, including the Pope John Paul II Rose in honor of the first time a pope visited the White House in 1979.[6] A new limestone walk, 36 inches (91 cm) wide to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, was laid around the borders of the garden.[5] The crabapple trees, added during the Kennedy redesign, were relocated elsewhere on the White House grounds as the newer trees were failing to thrive.

The Rose Garden renovation updates include a redesign of the plantings, new limestone walkways and technological updates to the space. White House interior designer and Grounds Committee member Thammanoune Kannalikham described the landscape design decisions as a "collective" one, made “by the entire team to respond to the changed environment of the garden." The quote continued to say, "The design allows the roses to thrive, having increased in quantity from 19 to over 200, while bringing in the greater narrative of the colonnade into the design of the garden." - Wiki
