Apple company needs old guidelines amended (6,9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

golden delicious

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'apple' is the definition.
(Golden Delicious is an example)

'company needs old guidelines amended' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'company' could be 'ld' (Ld. is an example) and 'ld' is found in the answer.
'old' could be 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English) and 'o' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for golden delicious that I've seen is " Type of apple".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
