Fret over a climbing plant (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yarrow

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

'plant' is the definition.
(yarrow is a kind of plant)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yarrow that I've seen before include "Pungent plant" , "Hedgerow plant" , "Creeping perennial plant, used in herbal medicine" , "bloomer" , "'Achillea millefolium'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
