Trump Confirms Rose Garden Redesign to Replace Grass with Patio Surface

The redesign aims to improve functionality for events while preserving the garden's iconic roses and other features.

President Donald Trump has announced plans to redesign the White House Rose Garden, replacing the central grass area with a patio-like surface.
The redesign is intended to address issues with wet grass during events, which Trump claims creates difficulties for attendees, particularly women in high heels.
Trump emphasized that the roses and other iconic elements of the garden will remain intact, with changes focused solely on the grass in the center section.
The planned changes were confirmed during a Fox News interview and tour with Laura Ingraham, who expressed surprise at the proposal.
The Rose Garden has a history of modifications, including significant renovations under Jacqueline Kennedy in 1962 and Melania Trump in 2020.
