Amorous archer among white roses (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eros

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

'among white roses' is the wordplay.
'among' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'EROS' is hidden in the letters of 'white roses'.

(Other definitions for eros that I've seen before include "Love-god's statue in Piccadilly" , "asteroid four hundred and thirty three" , "divinity" , "God of love; life instinct (Freud)" , "Rose for the love-god" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
