It seems more like Summer Rose alludes to the poem The Last Rose of Summer. Not only does this lend to her name, it also lends to the phrase that is written on her gravestone: "Thus Kindly I Scatter" That is an actual line from the poem.

The poem is about the narrator finding that only one rose in a garden is still alive, while the rest have long since died and wilted. The narrator decides to basically kill the rose and scatter its petals on the ground so that it can join the others in death, sparing it a lonely existence.
