'brings new life' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'curb with flowers' is the wordplay.
'curb with' becomes 'rein' (I've seen this in another clue. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'flowers' becomes 'carnations' (carnation is a kind of flower).
'rein'+'carnations'='REINCARNATIONS'
