Desert refuges (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oases

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

This is all the clue.

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

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the USA Today and the LA Times.
