White House Rose Garden, Presidential garden in Federal Triangle, Washington DC, United States
The White House Rose Garden features symmetrical flower beds with roses, crabapple trees, and boxwood hedges alongside a central lawn.
Ellen Axson Wilson established the garden in 1913, replacing an earlier colonial garden that occupied the space near the Oval Office.
Presidents regularly use this garden for official ceremonies, diplomatic receptions, and major policy announcements to the American public.
National Park Service gardeners maintain the garden throughout all seasons, ensuring continuous floral displays from spring through autumn.
The term Rose Garden strategy emerged when presidents choose to conduct business from this location rather than traveling across the country.
