Should a Rose Garden have roses or no?

[kpete]

While we wait for some real news, this:

from - DearAuntCrabby:
Melania drew her inspiration for the Jackie Kennedy Rose Garden demolition from her cold dead heart where the souls of her previous Johns go to die
One year ago this month, Melania Trump designed the Rose Garden to look just like her soul.

1. I wanna punch her in the face for doing that.

[smirkymonkey]

7. I'll line up right behind you.

What a disgrace!

[paleotn]

23. Take a number.

[Trueblue1968]

36. YOU SAID IT RIGHT BUT I WILL AMEND YOUR STATEMENT.... I wanna slug her all over for doing that.

i'm 70 and i would beat her up.

[aocommunalpunch]

2. Sure.

Add in some sweet sativa, too!

[druidity33]

3. What roses? I see mostly tulips... K&R, nt.

[plimsoll]

12. That was my thought exactly.

I mean the new one looks pretty sterile, but I'm pretty sure we call those flowers tulips.

[Warpy]

33. She was obviusly thinking "interior room" instead of "garden"

and the stuff other than the putting green lawn grass was incidental.

The garden did need renovation to improve drainage and remove trees that were overgrown and had about reached the ends of their lifespans in a confined space. However, that concrete walkway did nothing to improve the drainage and I'm sure that it will ge goner, along with the square putting green, within the next decade or so. Someone else will add color to her monchrome mess.

15. I'm Hoping There's Roses...

...on the other side.
Maybe the side away from the building gets more sun and roses are there.
I'm just hoping, of course, as the picture only shows one side.

43. Tulips are earlier than roses by about 2 1/2 months

[druidity33]

45. and rose bushes are much taller... you see roses? nt.

[Beastly Boy]

4. I think the WH should hire Axl Rose as a gardener.

That should end any debate.

[underpants]

5. Frankly I'm surprised Trump didn't salt it on his way out

I just wanted to say that

[electric_blue68]

44. Heh! Quite understandable

[dalton99a]

6. Be thankful the Slovenian escort didn't spray paint everything red

[Irish_Dem]

8. It takes a black heart to desecrate a Christmas tree. And to destroy Jackie's Rose Garden.

[SergeStorms]

18. The Red Queen.

"Off with her head!" 😡

[murielm99]

27. I still say that looks like

Christmas at Mordor.

[marie999]

29. I didn't know she was an escort. I thought she was just a porn actress.

Okay, escort as in hooker.

[PoliticAverse]

9. What a thorny question. n/t

[Retrograde]

10. Those are tulips, not roses

in the "before" picture, meaning that it was taken in the spring. The "after" picture was IIRC taken in late summer, just before TFG took over our lawn for his praise-fest. While I am not willing to cut Mel some slack, I think we should compare roses to roses and not tulips.

Are there any pictures of what the garden looks like today, after a year of growth?

[LeftInTX]

13. I get the impression that the rose garden has always had alot of other plants

http://www.whitehousemuseum.org/grounds/rose-garden.htm

This is a "high performing garden", that was designed by Jackie to be camera ready, There will be spring blooming bulbs to get the show started early. In Texas, roses have limited blooming time...(Don't know how it is up north, but I know winter is not a good time for roses up there) The annuals and perennials assist the roses because even in ideal conditions, roses require deadheading to keep their blooms going.

There is a mix of ornamental trees and shrubs, roses, annuals and perennials to keep the show going.

11. Rt TY.. Please Get the Roses Back.. don't

let that's Monster's "garden" stand!

[SergeStorms]

21. She had that done....

so her stiletto heels didn't sink into actual earth. It's her belief that concrete is much easier on her $5000 designer "hurricane shoes".

Remember when she went to Houston after that hurricane in those damned stiletto heels? Was that the same trip when she unveiled her "I really don't care, do U", raincoat? I can't recall.

[OMGWTF]

26. The coat incident happened when the Epstein Visa recipient went to visit migrant kids

at the Mexican border that her Nazi husband had separated from their parents. I thought it was an Onion article when I first saw the photo. What a craven cvnt!

[SergeStorms]

31. That's right.

She made so many forgettable trips as Worst Lady.

How could we ever her forget her big (only) Worst Lady initiative, 'Be Best', though?

[Cha]

35. I wondered what you meant by

"Hurricane shoes" I missed that .. i hate that monster.. another one who's her own worst enemy. She & Treasonous Psycho make the perfect Toxic pairing.

I figured she destroyed Jackie's Rose Garden because she's a jealous ***** & wanted to show off her fleeting power as the first ****** in the WH..

Yes, I remembered when she showed what an ass she is by wearing that damn attention mongering ass jacket.

[SergeStorms]

39. What else would you wear...

to aid suffering hurricane victims? Stiletto heels, right?

She's as big a phony as her "husband".

The world will be a far better place when they're gone.

[treestar]

14. Is that the same ground?

Isn't doesn't have the same incline.

[SergeStorms]

32. Even Mother Earth....

shrinks away at her touch.

[Owl]

16. The new version is boring and bleak.

Return it to its previous splendor.

[SergeStorms]

17. Maybe we should have a donor funded....

resurrection of the beautiful, popular Rose Garden?

Aunt Crabby couldn't have hit the nail on the head more squarely. It does reflect the dead, barren soul of a money whore. She already had her indoor tennis lust-shack, for her and her slicked-back Secret "Service" Agent. Why did she have to destroy the Rose Garden as well?

Shall we take it back?

[dianaredwing]

20. I think that's a great idea

Most college extension services have Master Gardener programs and volunteers could be solicited to do most of the work under the official White House gardener. I am relatively sure most seed and plant companies would be happy to donate plants. Might even get the Four Seasons people to help.

[SergeStorms]

25. "the four seasons people"....

Good one. I'd forgotten all about that debacle.

[SergeStorms]

28. Her kidneys look....

very "worked on".

I imagine that's photo-shopped.

[housecat]

24. Everything Donald and Melania touch dies.

[paleotn]

30. Looks like some Slovenian nightmare.

Something out of the Eastern Bloc. Sterile and evil. Why am I not surprised?

[IronLionZion]

34. Four Seasons Total Landscaping can fix it!

I guess the point is that normal people like colors and Melania prefers monochrome that looks as dead as her heart. At least she didn't end Michelle Obama's White House farmer's market.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

37. Dr. Jill Biden needs to undo the damage done by the former sex worker

We need to restore the Rose Garden and undo the damage done by that former sex worker

[WarGamer]

38. 1921 version

[Igel]

40. Roses. n/t

[WarGamer]

41. Apparently it's had roses for 100+ years...

Although during JFK it was leveled all the way down to the soil and re-planted.

[Red Mountain]

42. She created a sterile backdrop......

it has been and should be again more than that.

Thank her for the wonderful opportunity her disregard for history and tradition has allowed someone with talent to do something really cool.
