Trump Unveils Redesigned White House Rose Garden with Stone Patio, Founding Father Statues
President Donald Trump has made significant changes to the White House Rose Garden during his second non-consecutive term, culminating in a major redesign completed in August 2025. The renovation replaced the grass lawn with stone tiles and added table seating with yellow and white striped umbrellas, inspired by the terrace at his Mar-a-Lago club. The space, now referred to by the White House as 'The Rose Garden Club,' features gold presidential seals on the tiles and American flag-inspired designs. Trump has also added portraits to the West Wing Colonnade (dubbed the Presidential Walk of Fame), which notably omits a photo of Joe Biden and instead displays an autopen. In January 2026, gold lettering in Shelley Script font was added. Additionally, five statues of the Founding Fathers have been installed, including a George Washington statue moved from the Washington Monument in October 2025. The article traces the garden's history from horse stables through redesigns by first ladies including Ellen Wilson, Jacqueline Kennedy, and Melania Trump.
