This was the article I read
https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/...n-history/
The title says it goes through the history, but it really just skips to Melania for the most part.
Despite its name, the area more closely resembles a flowered lawn than a traditional rose garden—its half acre can hold up to 1,000 guests—a scheme that was originally created by the Kennedys in 1962. But like any aspect of the White House, changes are made during each administration. Long before the Kennedys’ design—and long after—the Rose Garden has adapted to meet the demands of the day.
The resulting Rose Garden was a rousing success, and though minor changes have been made over the years—Nancy Reagan brought Mellon back to the White House to consult on changes to the space—the template the Kennedys set has largely stayed in place.
