Flower climbed (4)

I believe the answer is:

rose

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'flower' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'climbed' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for rose that I've seen before include "Gained altitude" , "Moved upwards for the flower" , "Prickly garden plant" , "Dusky pink" , "was being promoted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Times.
