Flowers one picks up (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

irises

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

'flowers' is the definition.
(type of flower)

'one picks up' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'picks up' becomes 'rises' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'i'+'rises'='IRISES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for irises that I've seen before include "Expensive painting" , "Eye membranes or showy flowers." , "Flags" , "Subject for van Gogh" , "Parts of eyes or flowering plants" .)
