Amorous archer among these roses (4)

I believe the answer is:

eros

'amorous archer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'among these roses' is the wordplay.
'among' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'EROS' can be found hidden inside 'these roses'.

(Other definitions for eros that I've seen before include "One worshipped" , "Form of love" , "Greek equivalent to Roman Cupid" , "Arrow shooter" , "Goddess" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
