Scotsman's flowers for another Scotsman (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

burns

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scotsman's flowers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'another scotsman' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'another' could be 'r' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'r' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'buns' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for burns that I've seen before include "Scottish lyricist" , "Is on fire" , "feels strong emotion" , "Cremates -- Scottish poet, d.1796" , "Rabbie - - (poet)" .)
