Appliance that blows woman's verge of rose leaves around Scots town (9)
I believe the answer is:
hairdrier
'blows woman's verge of rose leaves around scots town' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'appliance' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'appliance' could be 'drier' (drier is a kind of appliance) and 'drier' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hair' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'that' acts as a link.
