Freeze has one turning puce (3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ice up

'freeze' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'one turning puce' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'turning' indicates an anagram.
'puce' anagrammed gives 'ceup'.
'i'+'ceup'='ICE-UP'

'has' is the link.

(Other definitions for ice up that I've seen before include "get coat" , "Completely freeze" , "become frozen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
