I believe the answer is:

ouse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'english flower' is the definition.
'ouse' can be an answer for 'flower' (Yorkshire river). I'm not sure about the 'english' bit.

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ouse that I've seen before include "Great river at King's Lynn" , "Name of several English rivers" , "River at Lewes (Sussex)" , "O, Sue, here is a river" , "Norfolk river" .)
