At last, fragrance-scented After Eight: wild rose (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

increased

'rose' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for increased that I've seen before include "Grew greater" , "Went up" , "Made bigger or more" , "Made greater" , "R [ROSE]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
