A blooming beginner! (7)
I believe the answer is:
rosebud
'a blooming beginner' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rosebud that I've seen before include "Young flower - Citizen Kane's last word" , "Citizen Kane's sleigh" , "Immature ornamental flower" , "bloomer, when tight" , "J. Foster Kane's last word" .)
