From Goggle:

No, the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Rose Garden was not paved over; however, the other garden named after her, the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden (also known as the East Garden), was demolished to make way for a new ballroom in October 2025. The White House Rose Garden, which Jacqueline Kennedy redesigned in the 1960s, had its lawn replaced with stone tiles as part of a renovation in 2025, not paved over, but the demolition of the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden is a separate, recent event.

White House Rose Garden:
The main Rose Garden, which Jacqueline Kennedy had redesigned with horticulturist Bunny Mellon, had its central lawn area replaced with stone tiles in 2025 as part of a renovation. The name and the surrounding rose bushes were kept.
