Eros trampled flower (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rose

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

'flower' is the definition.
(I know that rose is a type of flower)

'eros trampled' is the wordplay.
'eros' anagrams to 'ROSE'.
Though, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rose that I've seen before include "Flower - climbed" , "Garden flower" , "Flower; went upwards" , "grew" , "Thorny flowering plant" .)
