Cutting from rather bushy aromatic plant (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

herb

'aromatic plant' is the definition.
(many herbs are aromatic)

'cutting from rather bushy' is the wordplay.
'cutting from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some letters must be cut out of the clue).
'HERB' is hidden in the letters of 'rather bushy'.

(Other definitions for herb that I've seen before include "Wayside plant with small red flowers" , "Type of plant used in medicine" , "Aromatic plant used in cookery" , "man's name" , "Basil, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
