"The White House Rose Garden Landscape Report" from the National Park Service offers an insider's view of how the White House Rose garden has evolved and changed over the nation's past until today.

The White House Rose Garden Landscape Report

If you're a fan of White House history or an avowed horticulturalist this report is for you. Located within the grounds of the White House, the Rose Garden is one of the most recognizable landscapes in the United States, if not the world. While past presidents such as Truman and Eisenhower held occasional press briefings and events in the Garden, President Kennedy was the first to fully use the Garden as an official space. The Rose Garden encapsulates the many roles that the White House provides on a daily basis: home and residence of the president, center of the Executive Branch of the United States Government, a living museum of American history, and a setting for official functions.
