Desert havens (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oases

'desert havens' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for oases that I've seen before include "Fertile tracts in a desert" , "Where there may be dates" , "Fertile desert spots" , "Fertile areas in deserts" , "Green desert spots" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Universal, the Newsday, the LA Times, The Wall Street Journal and the USA Today.
