Crossword Genius

Curtis rambling in the country (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rustic

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

'curtis rambling' is the wordplay.
'rambling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'curtis' with letters rearranged gives 'RUSTIC'.

'in the' is the link.

(Other definitions for rustic that I've seen before include "Characteristic of rural life" , "Hodge" , "unrefined" , "Rural, countrified" , "country cousin" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
