This photograph of the of the Rose Garden was taken by photographer George F. Mobley in July 1963. The Rose Garden is located in the west side of the South Grounds, just outside the Oval Office. It has gone through several incarnations: a vegetable garden in the first part of the 19th century, a "colonial" garden in 1902, and then a rose garden in 1913. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy wanted to expand the garden for official functions and events. His idea became the Rose Garden, designed by horticulturist, gardener, and close friend of the Kennedys, Rachel Lambert Mellon. The garden was installed the following year, becoming the green theater for official ceremonies and a special place for the first family's private enjoyment.
