A flower ... quality especially delicate (4-5)
I believe the answer is:
rose-water
'especially delicate' is the definition.
'rose water' can be an answer for 'delicate' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'especially' bit.
'a flower quality' is the wordplay.
'a flower' becomes 'rose' (I've seen this before).
'quality' becomes 'water' (eg the phrase 'finest water' meaning high quality).
'rose'+'water'='ROSE-WATER'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
