rose garden
Thorny flower beds
A rose garden is a garden or section of a garden devoted to cultivating roses.
The phrase appears in the expression not a rose garden or no rose garden, meaning a situation that isn't easy or pleasant: Marriage is no rose garden.
The White House Rose Garden, site of presidential ceremonies, has made the term synonymous with proximity to executive power.
