Summer Rose Apron

Every garden has one flower that quietly steals the show.

Summer Rose was inspired by the timeless beauty of old-fashioned rose gardens—where blossoms climb weathered fences, bees drift lazily through the afternoon sunshine, and every path invites you to slow your pace. Soft ivory fabric blooms with romantic pink roses, accented by delicate blue blossoms and finished with cheerful blue trim. It's an apron that feels equally at home among climbing roses as it does in a welcoming kitchen filled with fresh flowers.

Handcrafted in my South Carolina workshop, this comfortable crossback apron slips on with ease and stays comfortable throughout the day without neck straps or waist ties. A generous front pocket is ready to hold seed packets, pruning shears, recipe cards, or freshly gathered blooms destined for a favorite vase. Every apron is individually sewn, making each one a one-of-a-kind celebration of craftsmanship and the simple joys of gardening.

There is something wonderfully peaceful about wandering through a garden just after sunrise or as evening settles over the flowers. The fragrance of roses lingers in the air, birds chatter from nearby branches, and the day's worries seem to soften with every step. Summer Rose was made for those quiet moments—deadheading blossoms, gathering bouquets for the table, or pausing with a cool glass of lemonade to admire the beauty that patience and care have grown.

Like every apron in The Garden Party Collection, Summer Rose celebrates the beauty found in ordinary days. It's a reminder that the loveliest gardens—and the sweetest memories—are cultivated one season at a time.

A Word from Margaret McGill
McGill's Curb Market

"My mama always tucked a few roses into an old jelly jar and set them on the kitchen table. She'd say a house didn't need fancy decorating if there were fresh flowers waiting to greet you. I still think she was right. A handful of roses has a way of making an ordinary Tuesday feel like a special occasion."
