Got up as a flower (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arose

'got up' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a flower' is the wordplay.
'flower' becomes 'rose' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'rose'='AROSE'

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for arose that I've seen before include "Became apparent" , "Cropped up" , "Came about" , "Happened" , "appeared" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
