UPDATE: On Friday, Jill Biden tweeted a photo of the White House Rose Garden, quipping "Spring is here at the @WhiteHouse!"

The garden has become a contentious issue for some, with a Change.org petition gathering more than 75,000 signatures calling upon the White House to revert it back to its original design.
