Fragrant shrub in shade (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lilac

I believe this is a double definition.

'fragrant shrub' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'shade' is the second definition.
(I know that lilac is a type of violet)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lilac that I've seen before include "Lavender-coloured" , "Pinkish purple - shrub" , "Pale purple - flowering tree" , "Genus Syringa shrub" , "Tree - pinkish-purple colour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
