The Rose Garden is one of the most instantly recognizable features of the White House, perhaps second only to the Oval Office. It has been used for announcements, events, and receptions of international leaders since the 1900s, and many of the defining moments in presidential history have taken place there.

After bulldozing the historic lawn, the president is reportedly adding final touches that resemble his Florida resort.

Trump announced in March that he would be paving over the Rose Garden to make it safer for those attending events.
