I believe the answer is:

plastered

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

'being stewed' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'soaked makes petals red' is the wordplay.
'petals red' anagrams to 'PLASTERED'.
Though, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for plastered that I've seen before include "Coated thickly, being slangily drunk" , "Drunk - applied coating to a wall" , "Smashed" , "wasted" , "Intoxicated" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
