A petition in the US to reverse former first lady Melania Trump's changes to the White House's rose garden from is gaining momentum.
The iconic garden was planted by the Kennedy's in 1962, however, under the Trump administration, it went from colourful to monochromatic.
The Rose Garden was one of Jacqueline Kennedy's biggest contributions during her time as First Lady, and critics say Trump destroyed that history.
The petition accuses Trump of turning the garden into "a boring tribute to herself".
American journalist Kristyn Burtt has been reporting on the petition.
