Genitals injured gathering New England roses (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eglantines

'roses' is the definition.
(eglantine is a kind of rose)

'genitals injured gathering new england' is the wordplay.
'injured' indicates an anagram.
'gathering' indicates putting letters inside.
'new' becomes 'n'.
'england' becomes 'e'.
'genitals' is an anagram of 'eglantis'.
'n'+'e'='ne'
'eglantis' enclosing 'ne' is 'EGLANTINES'.

(Another definition for eglantines that I've seen is " Roses".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
