Beats around the bush . . . or bushes (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hedges

(Other definitions for hedges that I've seen before include "Living fences" , "Fences of bushes" , "guards" , "Fences made for business" , "Buys or sells protective security" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
