A flower cutting to have in France - cheers! (2,6)

I believe the answer is:

au revoir

'cheers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a flower cutting to have in france' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'flower' could be 'ure' (I have seen 'River of Wensleydale ' mean 'ure' so perhaps 'river' could also mean 'ure') and 'ure' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for au revoir that I've seen before include "Goodbye for now, monsieur" , "Auf wiedersehen!" , "Farewell to the French" , "So long, see you soon - in France" , "Final words" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
